Across 110th Street

Great song? Good show? Bad movie? What should be enjoyed and what should be avoided.

Across 110th Street

So here I sit on a Friday night, in one of my standard pizza restaurants, and despite the fact that I could barely hear the music over the ambient noise, I thought I recognised the tune.

And I did. It was a highly Muzak-ed version of “Across 110th Street”. (Right now, I am hearing a highly Muzak-ed version of “Another Brick in the Wall” :()

I know this tune from Jackie Brown, which is my favourite Quentin Tarantino film.

Nonetheless, it always bothered me that a song which clearly references New York, is featured in a film set mostly (entirely?) in Los Angeles.

After some Google work, I discover it is not just the name of a song, but the name of a film!

Has anyone seen the film? Any good?

Maybe you just forgot. ;) viewtopic.php?f=19&t=6704&hilit=Across+110th+Street&start=2725#p189403

Haven't seen it, but how could a 70's flick about crime in Harlem not be good? :)
