Scorched-earth Blaxploitation master Melvin Van Peebles (Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song) made his directorial debut with the '67 film The Story of a Three-Day Pass, based on his own French language novel La Permission. Van Peebles was forced to shoot the film in France due to rampant racism and segregation in Hollywood, but the locale shines on screen as the trailblazing director channels the "brash exuberance" of the French New Wave to explore the intricate dynamics of an interracial relationship.
