"The Spook who Sat by the Door"


          

Just got this film(and now reading the novel on which it is based by Sam Greenlee) and just wondering if any other Okayplayers had any reactions if you've seen it. I was staggered at what a subversive film this was and a friend of mine(who knew him in the 70s) told me that "Spook" effectively ended Ivan Dixon's Hollywood career and cost him a lot politically. And given the political climate today, could you even THINK about getting a project off the ground where the hero was a former CIA token black agent who starts his own Underground Black Nationalist Army to "fuck with Whitey"?!
