dutchman (complete video)

Here's the link again to dutchman, which I described as transcending its author's anti-White racism and ending up as something unique and gripping, with two terrific performances (and besides her acting, Shirley Knight is quite an eyeful!). Only 54 minutes long-give it a try!

I had originally mentioned that LeRoi Jones was on Susskind saying blacks and Whites should live separately, opposite Norman Mailer, who argued for the reverse!

Eleven minutes in,I'm thinking nowadays Freeman would have a gas can and a lighter.

16 minutes in:I've seen two person cast plays like this and the ebb and flow between the two characters is dizzying. They get along,she gets mad,they make up etc.

She's pretty much nuts. In 1967,were there blacks on subways who talked like this? Are there any now?
