Movie description
The highly influential blaxploitation film COTTON COMES TO HARLEM spawned the beginning of the blaxploitation action boom in 1970 by delivering a refreshingly different detective action story utilizing humor, impactful drama, and most refreshingly, a lot of soul. This picture became a milestone in blaxploitation filmmaking and influenced many of its successors during this important decade in film history. Two black cops in Harlem suspect a preacher's back-to-Africa campaign is a swindle, and this leads to a host of adventures trail-blazed by fast, tough repartee. COTTON featured the relatively unknown actor Redd Foxx, as well as solid performances by Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St. Jacques, and Calvin Lockhart. Based on the book by Chester Himes, the signature combination of fast-paced adventure, sheer comedy, and spectacular shootouts and chase scenes make this classic blaxploitation.

Cotton Come To Harlem

One of the most influential Soul Cinema pix ever to shoot onto the screen, Cotton Comes To Harlem spawned the blaxploitation boom by delivering a "refreshingly different detective action yarn with soul and humor" (Cue) and an unbeatable mix of "fast-paced adventure [and] comic lunacy" (Pacific Film Archive).

Detectives "Gravedigger" Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and "Coffin Ed" Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) are on the case and in everyone's face when they investigate Rev. Deke O'Malley (Calvin Lockhart) - a brother whose "Back To Africa" campaign is nothing more than a big scam for bigga' bucks. But when $87,000 of O'Malley's laundered cash gets stashed in a bail of cotton, Gravedigger and Coffin find they're not the only dudes suddenly interested in soaring cotton prices! Trailing the bale all over Harlem, the detectives come up against the mafia, the police, black militants and more in an all-out dash to nab $87,000 cash - and to 86 anyone who stands in their way!
