Amazon.com essential video:
The first in a trio of very broad comedies from director Sidney Poitier features Poitier and Bill Cosby as two small-time hustlers always looking for an angle. During a robbery at a swanky nightclub, they are relieved of their wallets, only to find later that one of them had a lottery ticket that came up a winner. The chase is on as they scour the city to find their prize, along the way running up against Harry Belafonte as a sly and suave mob kingpin (with a nod to Don Corleone) with his eye on the ticket as well. Heavily influenced by the screwball comedies of the 1940s but with the thoroughly modern air of 1970s black culture, Uptown Saturday Night is a breezy affair with some old pros at the helm. --Robert Lane

What a splendid film! Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby are marvelous together, and the rest of the cast is equally good. It's such a fine exemplar of the 70s experience. It's a go-to movie for me.

I put this DVD on my wish list because of the many enthusuiastic reviews left by others. I was disappointed in the slow pace and the minimal humor. However, this is a good period piece of 1970s film-making.

Is such a movie as this one. Bill and Sydney have always starred well as a duo. They're about the only two guys I know that can pull off roles as crooks, turn it into comedy and get away with it. But that takes nothing away from Calvin Lockhart and Harry Bellafonte. Everyone in this movie will have you busting your gut laughing. Bunch of fools (but in a funny way). I guess when you lose a lotto ticket, you go thru a lot trying to get it back. But if these clowns had been where they were supposed ... Read More

This is a kind of film that people like to keep around. It's not Shakespeare but it's fun and light and it features some pretty wonderful performances. In here we have Steve Jackson (Sidney Poitier) and Wardell Franklin (Bill Cosby) are two working stiffs looking to have a good time uptown. They tip out on wives Sarah Jackson (Rosalind Cash) and Irma Franklin (Ketty Lester) and go to Zenobia's, a joint - named after Madame Zenobia (Lee Chamberlin) - where the high fallutin' high rollers hang out ...

If you are stuck in the 70's as I am, this movie will take you back to where you want to be. The funny wardrobe, the out of sight lingo. It is all hilarious. Funny to see Bill Cosby in his younger days too.
