Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will broadcast "Watermelon Man" (1970) today, Friday, June 18, 2010.

The film stars comic actor Godfrey Cambridge and is directed by Melvin Van Peebles. The film features Mantan Moreland in one of his later screen performances. Also in the film is Stooge supporting player Emil Sitka.

This rarely seen film is scheduled for a late-afternoon/early-evening broadcast today.

A "reel" treat for fans of Mr. Moreland. Catch it if you can.

LOL! The Watermelon Man I remember from the 70s. I thought it was extremely hilarious then. I will check the schedule to see if I missed it already.

Thanks for the update.
