True Identity

True Identity is an entertaining farce that I believe never had a Danish release. Miles Pope is an unemployed black actor who, one fateful day, comes close to dying in a plane crash. The man next to him, the well-known theatre patron Leland Carver, reveals himself to be a notorious mafia boss who has been given a new identity. Only the plane doesn't crash, and Miles is left with deadly knowledge. Soon he has mafioso Frank Luchino's hitman on his tail.

Luck smiles on Miles, however, for instead it is the hitman who loses his life in the showdown between the two. Miles poses as the hitman, whom neither Leland nor his henchman Anthony knows by sight. Miles's friend, the make-up artist Duane, turns Miles into a white man. Miles's only hope of escaping with his life is to find something compromising in Leland's own home. The FBI are not much help. He can, however, get help and a few sweet smiles from the house's beautiful interior designer, Kristi.

The action moves at full speed, and there is both suspense and silly humour.
