U.S. distributors Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are planning to bring to Blu-ray director Ossie Davis' blaxploitation classic
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), starring Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St. Jacques, Calvin Lockhart, John Anderson, Redd Foxx, Judy Pace, and Cleavon Little. The release is scheduled to arrive on the U.S. market in September.
Official synopsis: 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 for bigga' 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 militants and more in an all-out dash to nab $87,000 cash - and to 86 anyone who stands in their way!
