Harold Goodwin (II)

Harold Goodwin" Is it he? The voice of Hovis and wizened bloke in Selwyn Froggatt? More research needed!

Superfly!

Rented this the other night, never having dipped my piggies in Blaxploitation before: Hilarious! well hilariously bad that is. Shaft is a bit wooden but jesus this makes it look like Hamlet. The plot is on a par, in terms of taste, with Springtime for Hitler; Cocaine dealing being taken as the baseline, the datum above which honesty is judged. 'He's a good man' 'But he's a cocaine dealer!' 'Yeah but apart from that he's a good man' "cocaine is the only trade 'the man' left us to do" says one character; presumably in order to clear up any confusion over this ethical sticking point. My other fave is the dialogue, did anyone in New York in the 70's ever talk like this? no really, did they? Thus I think my flirtation with blaxploitation has ended. I'll do bad films, god knows I have in the past (plan 9 from outer space anyone?) but not this bad.
