Comedian Godfrey Cambridge delivers a virtuoso performance (initially in whiteface)as Jeff Gerber, a loudmouthed, bigoted white insurance salesman whose sitcom-like suburban existence is jarringly upended when he wakes up to discover, in a whild spin onf Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, that he has become a Black man. What ensues is a ferocious satire of society's racist double standards that gradually transforms into an empowering poretrait of awakening Black consciousness, executed with a mix of acerbic irreverence and deadly serious political commentary by a relentlessly subversive Van Peebles"--Container. 500 $a Title from title frames. 500 $a Released as part of the five-disc Blu-ray boxed set Melvin Van Peebles Essential Films. 500 $a Originally released as a motion picture in 1970. 500 $a Wide screen (1.85:1). 500 $a Special features: Introduction by Van Peebles from 2004; How to eat your watermelon in white company (And enjoy it), a feature-length 2005 documentary by Joe Angio on Van Peebles's life and career. 546 $a English dialogue; English subtitles; subtitled for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH). 508 $a Director of photography, W.
