## Description

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 forbigga' 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 militantsand more in an all-out dash to nab the $87,000 cashand to 86 anyone who stands in the way!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great

Great movie

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't care what anybody says, I like these movies.
*by C***R on March 5, 2018*

I grew up in a small farming community in the 60's with just a few very well liked blacks in the community. I grew up watching the Blaxploitation movies on TV and loved all their smooth tough lead characters. I was surprised when I grew up to find people criticized them, because I thought their heroes were the best. I mean seriously who didn't want to be Shaft LOL. In Cotton Comes to Harlem it's a comedy/action picture, with down and outers, crime figures, drug dealers, and a few dedicated cops fighting for control of the poor and disenfranchised people trapped in the community. The heroes in this movie are detectives Gravedigger Jones played by Godfrey Cambridge, and Coffin Ed Johnson played by Raymond St. Jacques trying to find a bale of cotton stuffed with $87,000 dollars stolen from the poor community while it was being conned from them by The Reverend Deke O'Malley played by Calvin Lockhart, who made his film debut in this movie. This movie is filled with small funny parts like and marked the film debut of Redd Foxx, Clevon Little and Judy Pace. Cotton Comes to Harlem was co-written and directed by the great Ossie Davis who also wrote the opening theme. There would be a sequel two years later Come Back Charleston Blue with Cambridge and St.Jacques again playing Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson
