Across 110th Street

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Barry Shear
1972 / 102min / 35mm

Shot entirely on the streets of Harlem, Shear’s seedy, bloody, fleet-footed thriller is every bit as irresistible as its Bobby Womack–sung theme song, pairing Kotto and Anthony Quinn as two NYPD detectives—a straightlaced Buppie and a crusty, streetwise Italian American—trying to catch up with stick-up man Paul Benjamin who unknowingly cleaned out a mafia bank, before capo Anthony Franciosa does. A corker of a crime drama that also offers an unusually intelligent analysis of racial and class divisions in 1970s NYC.
