The good pre-Godfather movies on TV thread - For Galt, and anyone else

[The Sleeper]

these probably won't be on TV anytime soon, but 2 sweet pre-godfather racial comedies are The Watermelon Man and Putney Swope. The Watermelon Man is about a white racist who wakes up one day as a black man, and wacky hijinks ensue. Putney Swope is about a marketing firm who's president dies suddenly at a meeting, so everyone takes a vote for who will be the next president. they all end up voting for the black guy, thinking no one else would, and he ends up taking over the company. Great stuff.
