A Scene to Remember

Every week this section will be looking at a scene or moment in film history that has, for some reason or another, resonated with me and left an impression.

Chameleon Street (Wendell B. Harris Jr., 1989, USA)


Every moment of Chameleon Street is crammed with wonderfully witty wordplay. For a directional debut Wendell B. Harris Jr. has complete creative control, having both written and starred in the film too. Harris does a stellar job of all three and is one of the only men that can out-cool Morgan Freeman's voice.

The films lack of success over the years is puzzling and obviously irked Harris who never wrote, directed or starred in another film.
