Are you ready to go "UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT"?! - 1974 Comedy with BILL COSBY and SIDNEY POITIER as a couple of working schnooks trying to recover a lost lottery ticket worth big bucks....THE HORROR!!

Funny, Google lists this as a blaxploitation indie film

and last time I looked this was a studio comedy

with 20th Century Fox the first thing that comes on

the screen, but ANYWAYS, this is another one that

harks back to childhood when it first came out in

the theaters. Fun story and some great comedic

performances- Richard Pryor has a one-scene deal

but he steals it, and Flip Wilson is hilarious as 

the Preacher, both church scenes he's in are

awesome. Using my Palm Springs Rating System

I give this long-time fav Three Palm Trees...The Horror!!
