Watching mini films from the 70s you see bad acting, bad blocking because they're using cheap inexperienced actors
A couple of the best films from that time are Uptown Saturday night and let's do it again. Those films were directed by Sidney Poitier and the actors, even the ones that weren't main characters were not inexperienced
Talked myself into watching Coffy one more time. Probably the greatest display of tittays in her movie career. White guy drug dealer reminds me of Trump. I watched The Arena the other day. Quality is good.
