One Potato, Two Potato

Opening sequence introducing the race-relations theme and the fictional town of "Howard, Ohio," (really on location in Painesville, near Cleveland) from One Potato, Two Potato, the 1964 independent feature starring Barbara Barrie and Bernie Hamilton, directed by Larry Peerce.

Julie (Barbara Barrie) keeps her composure better than Frank (Bernie Hamilton) when a cop interrupts them on an early informal date, in director Larry Peerce's independent feature One Potato, Two Potato, 1964.

Our first scene at home with Bernie Hamilton as Frank, we meet his worried parents, Robert Earl Jones, father of James Earl, better known at the time for stage work, and the successful playwright and Tony-nominated director Vinnette Carroll, in director Larry Peerce’s provocative independent feature One Potato, Two Potato, 1964.

SPOILER risk here, back in the courtroom, the judge (Harry Bellaver) delivers his verdict, stunning Julie (Barbara Barrie) and Frank (Bernie Hamilton), Richard Mulligan as the father Joseph, in a scene near the end of director Larry Peerce's One Potato, Two Potato, 1964.

Beginning in the courtroom, the judge (Harry Bellaver) induces a flashback to the day Julie (Barbara Barrie) met Frank (Bernie Hamilton), with friends Johnny (Sam Weston, brother of Jack, and later better known as the prominent porn director Anthony Spinelli) and Ann (Faith Burwell) in director Larry Peerce's independent feature One Potato, Two Potato, 1964.
