Van Peebles' first

Melvin van Peebles' first short is a deliberately aimless slice of life, mainly consisting of several men walking the streets of an American city. Most interesting aspect is the disjointed, atonal harmonica score. improvised by van Peebles himself. A small slice of this film can be seen (unidentified as such) in the documentary "What It Was... Is" on the Sweetback and Don't Play Us Cheap DVDs. Along with his first feature, Story of a 3-Day Pass, this movie shows that Van Peebles' roots were as much in European and "art" film as so-called "blaxploitation," and that the style of Sweetback was calculated primitivism, not merely inexperience.
