Following a top-prize win at Sundance, Wendell Harris’ 1989 masterpiece has gone woefully underseen - until now.
Harris gives a Shakespearean performance relaying the (somehow) true life story of Doug Street, the con-artist who in his time impersonated a lawyer, a student at Yale, an American football player, and even a surgeon.
With some truly unbelievable turns (thirty-six hysterectomies), an airtight script (delivered in Harris’ incredible baritone) and a thirty-year fight for distribution, it’s definitely one to (finally) watch.
If the tagline 'I think, therefore I scam' doesn’t hook you, we don’t know what will.
