Loren Mendell
Loren Mendell's Adjust Your Color: The Truth of Petey Greene (2008) fondly brings to life a Washington, D.C. local television personality, Petey Greene, whose talk show ran from 1967 to 1983 (he died of cancer that year). Glorious period footage from his shows, rescued from oblivion by the filmmakers, demonstrates Greene's man-of-words expertise and charisma. Interviews with a variety of friends and associates serve to amplify and memorialize Greene's legacy.
