1967. Directed by actor/writer/director/comedian Howard Morris. I had heard of this film, over the years, and I finally saw it. A silly screwball comedy, involving money, a la IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. An all-star character actor cast. It's on YouTube. 'A mint worker accidentally destroys some money and decides to break in and reprint it, but finds he has some unwanted partners.'

Here are the Elvis movies, the good, bad, and downright terrible. Col. Parker made Elvis do all of the crappy movies because Elvis never toured outside of the USA, and Elvis needed the money. Col. Parker was a con man, a crook, and an illegal alien, with a forged passport that would have been discovered, had he and Elvis left the USA. I bet that it drove him nuts, to have Elvis go to the Army, in Germany. He had total control over Elvis otherwise, taking 50 percent of his earnings. No managers ever take 50% of a client's earnings. He held Elvis back, from having a bigger, more lucrative touring career.

"Coffy" (1973) is an action film written and directed by Jack Hill and stars Pam Grier in her breakout movie, which helped pioneer her career through the blaxploitation genre. The film was a success at the box office, grossing $4 million on a $500k budget. Black women in leading action roles became a popular trend in the 70s. For example, films such as "Cleopatra Jones," "T.N.T Jackson," and "Sugar Hill" were films with strong female leads. It was a far cry from previous roles where Black women primarily earned parts as servants or homemakers in prior decades. Roy Ayers produced the soundtrack to "Coffy," a mixture of jazz and funk. It reached #31 on Billboard Jazz LPs.

Disguised as a prostitute, Coffy goes on a killing rampage, at first going after street dealers and pimps such as sleazy King George (Robert DoQui), then gradually working her way up to bigger honchos. She's shocked, however, when she discovers that her politician boyfriend (Booker Bradshaw) is involved.
