   Biologically implausible. Dark on top and light on the bottom is common   
   tu-tone for sea-dwellers for reasons of camouflage, but what on earth   
   selective pressure would cause left/right asymmetry in pigmentation?   
      
   Plus the white is very clearly a thick coat of low-quality makeup rather   
   than real skin pigmentation, even on the cheesy unremastered faded old   
   1960s-era film viewed in NTSC on a crummy old TV with a wobbly picture   
   from a too-many-times-viewed three-decades-old VHS tape that's gotten   
   creased and wrinkled.
