Default Unseen Movie 84

Jive Talkin'. 1974.

Released under a different title, this is Blaxploitation not at it's finest but certainly not at it's worst, set in 1954 Harlem with actors I got no idea who they are throwing about the "N" word alot and even a song with the word in it, so the makers may have tried to push it out more than they should. We got the Big Daddy of Harlem and the not so Italian Stallion Mobster at war for turf that even the police are racist who'd da thought that for a 70s film. You got the second in command "Sweet Daddy" trying to be a bookie but also tries to get young ones going straight and a near father figure teen looking out for his family. Truth be told even though it was low budget and badly edited I actually enjoyed this.
