Directed by Wendell B. Harris Jr. | 95 mins | 1989
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990 but criminally underseen for decades, the sole feature by Wendell B. Harris Jr.—a canny, inventive, and remarkably assured comedy based on the incredible escapades of real-life con artist William Douglas Street Jr.—has been given a richly deserved second life by its recent 4K restoration. The writer-director himself stars as the eponymous chameleon, whose impersonations shoot him up the socioeconomic ladder.
