Uncle Tom's Fairy Tales (1969)
With Richard Pryor
Directed by Penelope Spheeris
Uncle Tom's Fairy Tales (also known as Bon Appétit, The Trial, and Uncle Tom's Fairy Tales: The Movie For Homosexuals) is a 1969 American drama film directed and produced by then-film student Penelope Spheeris. The film stars and is written by Richard Pryor. Pryor historian Anthony Balducci calls it a "mysterious, unfinished film. It is questionable whether it even belongs in a listing of his films: It was not completed and has been lost for decades." The film was disowned by Pryor, who was unhappy with it and destroyed part of the footage during post-production. It was thought to be completely lost for many years, but a copy may exist in the archives of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts a
