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.
The Charismatic black nationalist leader Rev Deke O'Malley is trying to sell the people of Harlem a dream. Invest $100 in his company and live in Africa. But cops Gravedigger and Coffin know all about Deke and his fraudulent schemes that take advantage of the poor and the ignorant and can't wait for a chance to expose him. When a barbecue O'Malley is apparently 'robbed' they get their chance to take him and his cohorts down.
"Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song" has usually been credited as the first blaxploitation film, but wasn't "Cotton Comes to Harlem" released even before that? Anyway, the latter has African-American cops Gravedigger (Godfrey Cambridge) and Coffin Ed (Raymond St. Jacques) investigating whether local clergyman Deke O'Malley (Calvin Lockhart) is really what he seems.
Of course, the movie is really an excuse to show black people breaking away from The Man's white-people mores. And they do just that. My favorite scene is when a white cop goes up to a room with a black woman and both of them proceed to strip. She suddenly runs away and when he tries to follow her, he gets locked out of the apartment completely naked. I just try to imagine being one of the black Brothers or Sisters looking at this idiotic honky walking around.
Anyway, "Cotton Comes to Harlem" is silly but lovable. If we can be certain of only one thing, it's that Ossie Davis was as great a director as he was an actor. And Redd Foxx (before "Sanford and Son") plays a great supporting role.
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.
