ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO

“One of the HOTTER Topics Of Our Time...Now Scorches the Screen!”

Study of interracial marriage in the 1960s. A white divorcée falls in love with and marries an African-American man. When her ex-husband sues for custody of her child, arguing that a mixed household is an improper place to raise the girl, the new husband fights for his parental rights in court, fighting against a judge who represents the prejudices of the era.
