Wenn es Nacht wird in Manhattan (1970)

Wenn es Nacht wird in Manhattan: Directed by Ossie Davis. With Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St. Jacques, Calvin Lockhart, Judy Pace. Two Harlem cops investigate a robbery, believing that a reverend has staged it in order to steal the money he’s collected for a local fundraiser.

“One of the most influential pictures ever to shoot onto the screen, u0026quot;Cotton Comes To Harlemu0026quot; spawned the beginning of the blaxploitation action boom in 1970 by delivering a refreshingly different detective action yarn with a lot of humor,a lot of hard-hitting drama with a lot of black soul(It was know as SOULPOWER!). An unbeatable mix of fastpaced adventure and sheer comic having spiced with spectacular shootouts and chases with a lot of fast talking and tough repartee with solid performances by Godfrey Cambridge,Raymond St. Jacques and Calvin Lockhart no to mention to comedic timing of Redd Foxx. This picture became a milestone for a genre of action movies that would remain throughout the rest of that decade(including its sequel u0026quot;Come Back Charleston Blueu0026quot; two years later).”
