Putney Swope
Robert Downey Sr., USA, 1969o
Swope is the only black man on the executive board of an advertising firm, and is accidentally put in charge after the death of the chairman of the board.
A subversive comedy that hinges on disjunctive dubbing of the main character’s voice by director Downey Sr.. The surreal clash of styles (and ethnicities) shapes this satire of the advertising industry.
