Product Description
Introducing coffin ed and gravedigger two detectives only a mother could love. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 01/08/2008 Starring: Godfrey Cambridge Calvin Lockhart Run time: 96 minutes Rating: R Director: Ossie Davis
Amazon.com
Based on Chester Himes's novel, this film marked actor-writer Ossie Davis's directing debut. Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St. Jacques play Himes's volatile police detectives, Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson, who are on the trail of white men who pulled an armed stickup at a Back to Africa rally in Harlem. The money belongs to the poor people who paid for a chance to return to the motherland--but was it really a stickup? Or is the flashy preacher at the center of the Back to Africa movement (Calvin Lockhart) involved in a scam to rip off his own people? The plot drags; the best part of the film are the performances (as well as spotting cameos by such actors as the then-unknown Cleavon Little) and the on-location shooting in parts of New York where a camera had rarely ventured previously. Redd Foxx shows up in a small part as a ragpicker that led to his role in TV's Sanford and Son. --Marshall Fine

 How about ME? December 19, 2007
'Am I Black enough for you?' That was the question the Right, Righteous, Reverend, Deke O'Malley asked of the people. I saw this when I was 14, in 1971 and have never forgotten it. Calvin Lockhart, Raymond St. Jacques, Godfrey Cambridge and the Drop-Dead Gorgeous...Judy Pace, made me sit in the State Theater and watch this at least 4 times running...right on my brother...Right On!!!
The cameo by Redd Foxx gave it a sense of legitimacy too, because as cool as he was, he was comfortable playing a junk man...didn't forget where he came from.
Great African American Movie November 12, 2007
A must see, funy, dramatic and a joy to watch, over and over agian. WOW! Made in the 70's, Awesome.
 Semi-bore July 19, 2007

Pauline Kael was raising this film to a pedestal, claiming that it was a milestone of a so called "soul movies", exited with its humor and gusto.
Well, one thing is sure: Afro-American ladies are really good-looking,
guys are kinda interesting, there is some announcement of a
"Super fly - Shaft" rocking gimmicks, but overall,it is semi-bore movie
despite some surprising scene-solutions I've never seen before.
Look up for the sequel, "Come Back, Charleston Blue", that one shakes the floor.
Three stars with effort.
Very funny movie. July 11, 2007
One of those 70's classic films that is a must have in your dvd collection. It would be nice if they could release the sequel to this movie. "Come Back Charleston Blue" was just as good. I wonder what are they waiting on?
