What happens

One Potato, Two Potato is a 1964 black-and-white American drama film directed by Larry Peerce and starring Barbara Barrie and Bernie Hamilton. The film centers on an interracial romance and was produced and released at a time which such were very rarely openly conducted in the United States, and violated the prevailing social norms of the time.
