She blogged at night Putney Swope

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. Following the unexpected death of the chairman, each member of the board believes that he, himself, should be elected to the board. However, the bylaws of the corporation prohibit voting for oneself for the chair, so each individual member votes in a secret ballot for the person that no one else would vote for: Putney Swope.

Renaming the business “Truth and Soul, Inc.”, Swope replaces all but one of the white employees and insists they no longer accept business from companies that produce alcohol, war toys, or tobacco. The success of the business draws unwanted attention from the United States Government, which considers it “a threat to the national security.”

Because I’ve heard so much about Putney Swope, I’ve been wanting to see it for awhile. Along with Arnold Johnson, the cast also includes Antonio Fargas (“Huggy Bear” of Starsky & Hutch), Allan Arbus (Dr. Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H), and Shelley Plimpton (mother of actress Martha).

TCM is showing “Putney Swope” Friday night on their Underground segment. It’s on at 2:00 AM Eastern on Saturday morning (that’s late Friday night). Last I knew the DVD was discontinued, but while looking it up on TCM I discovered it’s still available at Movies Unlimited. So this isn’t a huge Set Your Recorders emergency, but it’s still something I think a lot of you will be interested in.
