Movie Reviews
One of the blaxploitation genre's most impressive works
Bring me some scratch
A classic 70's Blaxploitation film. Pimps as colorful as peacocks with land cruisers dressed in chrome.
Roscoe Orman (Gordon from Sesame Street) plays Willie, a pimp who has the patter down pat and the clothing that rivals anything that your imagination can come up with. He runs afoul of a determined social worker and the police, both determined to bring him down. They use every trick in the book to make his life hell and bring on him the wrath of his fellow pimps.
Diana Sands, who was one of the top black actresses of the 50s and 60s, shined as the social worker. This was one of her last films as she died of cancer before its release. She was 39.
Like Al Capone, Willie's downfall was the IRS.
