Synopsis
A New York City businessman meets a window washer hoping to commit suicide and decides to market his grief to the highest bidder in this acidic satire on American capitalism, one made even more memorable by the fact that the entire âAmericanâ cast are Chinese actors in whiteface. The greedy Mr. Butler (Shi Hui) convinces the suicidal âCharleyâ that he might as well endorse some cigarettes as he jumps out of his office window, and maybe wear a particular suit too. A true cinematic oddity, this Korean Warâera propaganda piece is a satire that Frank Tashlin could envy.
