BLACK HOOKER(AKA: STREET SISTERS)(1974)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics
Besides the fact that this has been cut to shreds,
this is the second worst movie I've ever watched! A
cross between religion and porn! Aweful!!! F--
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Just when I think I've seen every unnoticed example
of the 'blaxploitation' genre...along comes this
quirky, sincere little film from 1972. It more
rightly fits, perhaps, into the sub-genre of
African-American themed films set in the Great
Depression, like "Book of Numbers" and "Thomasine
and Bushrod". The actress who plays the main
character's mother bears a rather striking
resemblance to Josephine Baker. The film's
stage origins often stick out and the fact
that all the dialogue was post-synched doesn't
help to alleviate a general sense of technical
stiffness. Still, it's an interesting story
about the son of a light-skinned prostitute
(improbably played by an actor who's far too
fair-skinned, blonde and blue-eyed) caught
between the clash of white and black cultures.
The video version I watched (on Edde) was
actually a pretty good looking print (apart
from a few bad stretches on the soundtrack),
moderately letterboxed even. If you can find
this and are a fan of the genre, check it
out. - Gangsteroctopus
