Come Back Charleston Blue – June 29th, 1972

What’s It About

Sequel to Cotton comes to Harlem. Another bad influence is hitting Harlem and Gravedigger and Coffin Ed are the two cops who will stop it. Charleston Blue was a prohibition-era black gangster, dead 4 decades. When he seems to have reappeared, once again slitting throats with his Blue straight edge razors, the two cops begin a complicated search for some answers.

Why It’s Gone

No answer from Warner Brothers which is somewhat odd considering Warner produced a large number of Black movies in the seventies. Hopefully, with the addition of Juneteenth as a National holiday, movie studios will feel compelled to present better film choices for Black people (we spend a lot on entertainment). Because of Covid19 every company had to revamp and reassess its business model. Maybe Warner will reach into its vault and digitize those Black classics that highlight our acting skills and give representation.
