​50th Anniversary of Putney Swope
Showing in Theaters Across the Country
Picture
Presented as part of Art House Theater Day, an annual celebration of art house and indie theaters.
A touchstone of countercultural cinema, Robert Downey Sr.'s satirical masterpiece tracks the bizarre rise and fall of African American advertising executive Putney Swope.  When he's accidentally made chief of his Madison Avenue firm, Swope (Arnold Johnson, with his voice dubbed by Downey) fires his lily-white coworkers, hires a staff of young, black, politically-conscious executives, and renames the company Truth and Soul, Inc. Swope and his compatriots turn the industry on its head and draw the ire of the government with a series of outrageous, politically incorrect commercials (peppered throughout the film like transmissions from a bizarro version of 60s America).  Skewering everyone from establishment wonks to far-out revolutionaries, this irreverent, unsettling film leaves no corner of American society unscathed.  Fifty years after its release, PUTNEY SWOPE still has the power to shock and delight.

The film will be preceded by a brand new video essay featuring exclusive interviews with writer/director Robert Downey Sr.

Restoration by the Academy Film Archive and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.

Cast:  Arnold Johnson, Laura Greene, Buddy Butler, Antonio Fargas

​The Hand of Fate  

I came across this photo of the series pilot I did in the 70s just before the Starsky & Hutch pilot, which gave me two series opportunities to choose from.  Fate would have it Starsky & Hutch was the series I chose, which made television history and the Huggy Bear character memorable. ~ Antonio
