Curator’s notes
The subtext of this romantic comedy is one of cultural values. The character Clinton, caught up in the corporate world and in pursuit of material possessions, is rejected by Crystal who in calling Clinton a sell out and a coconut (brown on the outside, white on the inside) is accusing him of wanting to be white.
