One Potato, Two Potato (1964)

Gripping Treatment of Black/White Racial Issues

[19 March 2000]

I saw this film at the Montreal Film Festival in 1964. Didn't know any of the actors at the time, but the film was excellent in script and execution. Black and white photography adds to the tension centered around custody of children born of a white mother and black father. I can still see the final scene with the children's faces pressed against the rear car window, and this 36 years later.
