Ossie Davis makes his directorial debut a smashing success in the trend-setting action crime comedy Cotton Comes To Harlem. Coffin Ed (Raymond St. Jacques) and Grave Digger Jones (Godfrey Cambridge), two plainclothesmen on the Harlem detail, are assigned to investigate the goings-on of suspicious local preacher Deke O'Malley (Calvin Lockhart), whose "Back to Africa" political movement turns out to be a scam to milk the community of their hard-earned cash.

He's Quick with a quip, Quick with a gun. And Quick with a scheme to keep mobsters from muscling in on the 1930's Harlem hot spot, Club Sugar Ray. Eddie Murphy starts as Quick in HARLEM NIGHTS, the stylish action-comedy produced, written and directed by the multi-talented superstar. Teaming with Murphy are Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx, a brilliant cast that puts three generations of comedy legends side by side. Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Jasmine Guy and Danny Aiello join them for the Murphy magic. So what's coming soon at Club Sugar Ray? With Murphy and Pryor as the masterminds, you can be sure it's something big!
