Shawn Strong and Decarius McClearn discuss and review Melvin Van Peebles' second feature made in 19070, "Watermelon Man," which is a satirist comedy with racism as the undertones. Starring Godfrey Cambridge and Estelle Parson, the white couple who becomes interracial when Jeff Gerber (Godfrey Cambridge) becomes Black after too much tanning. It's a mix of 'Black Like Me' and 'Change of Mind' plus 'Putney Swope.'
Many layers and messages in this film. We rate it a "Right on!"
