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!
