| Inhalt: |
Putney Swope (ArnoId Johnson, Shaft) is the onIy Black executive at a stuffy Madison Avenue advertising agency. When the chairman dies unexpectedly, Putney is elected the new boss – because those voting never thought anyone else would to do the same. Putney proceeds to kick out the white majority, repIacing them with young, revolutionary types, and renames the agency Truth and Soul.
A bracing satire, taking welI-aimed pot-shots at capitaIism, power and racism in America, Robert Downey’s Putney Swope is a key entry in counterculture cinema, and a landmark of independent fiImmaking, and – after more than a half a century – is stiIl very, very funny."
