Watermelon Man is a 1970 American comedy film directed by Melvin Van Peebles and starring Godfrey Cambridge, Estelle Parsons, Howard Caine, D'Urville Martin, Kay Kimberley, Mantan Moreland, and Erin Moran. Written by Herman Raucher, it tells the story of an extremely bigoted 1960s-era white insurance salesman named Jeff Gerber, who wakes up one morning to find that he has become black. The premise for the film was inspired by Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, and by John Howard Griffin's autobiographical Black Like Me.

  • L'uomo caffelatte (Watermelon Man) è un film del 1970, diretto da Melvin Van Peebles. È il secondo film di Van Peebles, l'unico prodotto da una major quale la Columbia Pictures. Il protagonista è interpretato da Godfrey Cambridge, un attore afroamericano che per interpretare Jeff all'inizio del film si dipinse il viso di bianco, in netto contrasto con i black face, ossia i film degli anni venti in cui attori bianchi interpretavano dei neri dipingendosi il volto.
