black cast... not quite
Stuart Whitman
Elliott Gould
Luther Adler
True, I had only just turned the movie on.
But the STAR of the movie is black. He also directed it. The leading lady was a fair skinned blue eyed blonde (which the black male audience would have loved). It had British actor Roddy McDowell playing an Italian mafia figure. Stuart Whitman as a mafia figure. And lots of evil racist white characters of course. The black hero does get mugged by two other blacks at the start of the film.
Plus it had a "guest appearance" by the Jew star of the era Elliott Gould. This dude was big in the 70's.
Anyway, all that Jew Hollywood makes is mindless garbage or propaganda, and I watch it with that in mind for some stupid fun.
And Mean Johnny Barrows was stupid fun.
