Wistfully this week we lost the beloved George Segal, this dramatic comedian gone forever, in 2011 I'd taped from TV "Carbon Copy" that introduces the still young Denzel Washington, I never forget Segal and Jane Fonda on"Fun with Dick and Jane" perhaps his best picture, henceforth I'd be happier watching his movies, which I have a few of them, sadly "Carbon Copy" never came out here in Brazil officially on DVD.
George Segal plays Walter Witney, who by stroke of luck he ascended to high-ranking of a huge corporation due a bright idea on the marketing section, he ends up marrying the fancy Vivian Witney (Susan Saint James) daughter of the Company's owner Nelson Longshurst (Jack Warden), actually Walter is Vivian's second husband whose already had a daughter, aside Vivian be an annoying wife and slight cold in the bed, Walter tries living a fruitful sexual activity, but dully reported by Vivian for his handler father about Walter's insatiable sexual behavior, thus the next day he'd to hear tons of complains about it, priceless sequence indeed.
One day he receives at his office a swollen-headed chocolate teenager Roger Porter (Denzel Washington) alleging be his son from Walter's old affair, he stays baffled by such statement, in fact he did not denied, he loves Roger's mother, which they lived together on the past, Roger wants live with Walter due his mother died recently, Walter tries figure out how introduce a colored son in a wealthy white family without many upheavals, the cunning father settles a plan, but the hoax doesn't take long, he is fired, dumped of the fancy mansion what he lives and his Rolls Royce and all credit cards are withdraw from him merciless.
Actually he has a choice, forget his son and goes back to his easy life, however the dogged man would rather living with Roger and starts again, clearly as a matter of conscience and worthiness, nonetheless all doors are close to him by Nelson's commands trying break his pride, he has to living with a few dollars at his pocket, at flophouse working as stable's cleaner, if it weren't enough tragic is funny as well, father and son slowing getting closer just a slight.
Underrated dramatic comedy strangely forgotten by majority, with smart lines about if God would be possible a black being, as Walter says I am a disguised J.e.w, white man and has a black son, the screenplay is largely well conceived, with a strong social criticism about prejudice, also Denzel displays why he later becomes a bright black star at cinema industry on so great performance, it deserves be discovered by the upcoming generation of cinephiles!!
Thanks for reading.
