Surprisingly Good for a Relatively Unknown Film
Having saved about $1000 dollars while working as a waiter, a black man named "Blueboy Harris" (Raymond St. Jacques) decides to leave his place of employment and head back to El Dorado, Arkansas where he plans to start an illegal gambling operation. Also traveling with him is a young black man named "Dave Green" (Philip Michael Thomas) who looks up to him as both his friend and mentor. Not surprisingly, considering the time and effort put in by Blueboy, it isn't long before the two of them become quite successful. Unfortunately, their success doesn't go unnoticed and not long afterward a white mobster by the name of "Luis Antoine" (Gilbert Green) decides to move in on their action. That being said, since Blueboy and Dave have set up their illegal gambling operation in a black part of town, Mr. Antoine sends a black man named "Joe Gaines" (Jerry Leon) there to convince them to cooperate. However, because neither Blueboy or Dave are impressed with him they decline-and this eventually causes severe problems for all concerned. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I had never heard of this film until only a few weeks ago and, having just seen it, I must say that I was somewhat impressed with it. Not only did I like the overall plot and setting but I also thought that both Raymond St. Jacques and Philip Michael Thomas performed quite well also. Likewise, it certainly didn't hurt to have a couple of attractive actresses like Freda Payne (as Dave's girlfriend "Kelly Simms") and "Hope Clarke ("Pigmeat Goins") either. Be that as it may, as stated earlier, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
