Synopsis

Watch: Cotton Comes to Harlem 1970 123movies, Full Movie Online – Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson are two black cops with a reputation for breaking the odd head. Both are annoyed at the success of the Reverend Deke O’Mailey who is selling trips back to Africa to the poor on the installment plan. When his truck is hijacked and a bale of cotton stuffed with money is lost in the chase, Harlem is turned upside down by Gravedigger and Coffin Ed, the Reverend, and the hijackers. Much of the humor is urban black, which was unusual in 1970..
Plot: Harlem’s African-American population is being ripped off by the Rev. Deke O’Malley, who dishonestly claims that small donations will secure parcels of land in Africa. When New York City police officers Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson look into O’Malley’s scam, they learn that the cash is being smuggled inside a bale of cotton. However, the police, O’Malley, and lots of others find themselves scrambling when the money goes missing.

Hysterically Edgy
Cambridge and St. Jacques are one of all time best buddy cop duos. They are hip, sexy, and funny. The mystery is intriguing, and the uncomfortable situations keep the viewer’s attention throughout. This is one to be seen uncut, because a lot of the humor is quite racy. It’s a time capsule in a way also since the Harlem depicted here no longer exists.

The granddaddy of all “Blaxploitation” films was pretty good
This is a decent and very watchable film–the first so-called “blaxploitation” film. However, this label is hard to apply to this film because although it has many of the sensibilities (stupid White cops as well as gratuitous nudity), it also features some things you never or rarely see in this genre. First, the heroes of this film are Black cops (Coffin and Gravediffer)–and cops are NOT leading men in blaxploitation films! Second, one of the biggest scumbags in the film is a Marcus Garvey-like Black con-man, the Rev. Deke O’Malley. So instead of trying to pigeonhole this film into this genre, I’d rather just judge it by itself.

The film has an excellent R&B score–one of the better ones of the era. The acting by all was very good, though Godfrey Cambridge came off the best of the lot. Direction by veteran actor Ossie Davis was also pretty good.

One serious complaint is that the film doesn’t seem to know, at times, whether it’s a comedy or drama–I wish it had stuck a little closer to one or the other. The other problem is that while the movie was definitely intended to appeal to Black audiences, it could have resounded well with all audiences if they’d let up a little on the negative attitudes towards Whites–though, back in 1970, I could certainly understand all the anger, resentment and mistrust. Heck, had I been Black back then, I’m pretty sure I would have hated White folks as well. It’s too bad really, as because of this most non-Black audiences would miss out on seeing a good film.

By the way, the movie makes a couple references to Marcus Garvey. The Reverend’s character was based on him, though Garvey by almost all accounts did not intend to cheat investors in his Black cruise line. Try reading up on the man–he’s one of the most interesting yet forgotten civil rights leaders of the 20th century.
