Still as irreverent, manic and hysterically funny as it was twenty five years ago, Robert Downey?s Putney Swope (84 min, 1969) maintains a loyal following even today.

The conservative office of a staid, white Madison Avenue advertising firm is shocked into life when mild-mannered, black yuppie Putney Swope is accidentally elected chairman of the board and decides to introduce a little Afro-American culture to the corporation.
