Number of Views :158
Watermelon Man is a 1970 comedy-drama film directed by Melvin Van Peebles and based on the book The Night the Sun Came Out on Happy Hollow Lane by Herman Raucher. Written by Herman Raucher and distributed by Columbia Pictures, it tells the story of a typical 1960s, somewhat bigoted white insurance salesman named Jeff Gerber who wakes up one morning to find that he has become black.
*Random Fact — Melvin Van Peebles’ How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company was crowned the Best Film Category in The Virgin Episode. I take it Mister Melvin likes watermelons, huh? (smiles)
