An unforgettable late-’60s counterculture masterpiece, Robert Downey Sr.’s PUTNEY SWOPE remains a vital provocation on race, pop culture, and America. Putney Swope, the only African-American exec at his ad firm, is unexpectedly elected its president and turns the industry on its ear through a series of outrageous, taboo-busting TV commercials (strewn throughout the film like comedic landmines). Essential viewing! – AGFA1969 • dir Robert Downey Sr. w/Arnold Johnson, Stan Gottlieb, Allen Garfield • 84 min • DCP
