Guy From Harlem, 70s color, Rifftrax. (Excellent double feature with Cinematic Titanic's East meets Watts) The guy from Harlem is a detective. From Harlem. I hope you like really tough burnt meat and shitty scotch. This is a feast for the eyes. The 70s wallpaper and carpet and clothes. It’s like The Umbrellas of Chernbourg for 70s wallpaper and carpet. Funny movie on its own. Harlem guy is hired to protect the wife of a leader of an African nation. I guess. Most of movie is the guy trying to sleep with the African princess. But there’s also a woman who was kidnapped and held in a wooden cabin. And now I guess the whole plot with the African girl is over and they’re doing same plot with kidnap victim. Beat for beat, it’s like the movie is replaying scenes with a slightly different actress. They even reused the same nightgown. I love the father of the kidnap girl. His suits are spectacular. He puts Morris Day to shame. And I gotta admit, I love the Guy from Harlem song. It’s like Shaft, but better. Stupid fight scene with big daddy near end. Very near end it turns out—-this movie begins and ends more abruptly than almost any movie ever has. It’s a really funny one. I think I gotta go Top Tier again!
