A Piece of the Action / Uptown Saturday Night (1974)

The ideal comedy for any night is Uptown Saturday Night, a breezy joy pairing Sidney Poitier (who also directs) and Bill Cosby as pals out to recover a stolen wallet and the winning lottery ticket it holds. Henry Belafonte, Richard Pryor and Flip Wilson are also in this "fast, funny immensely likable film" (Chicago Daily News). It's Poitier and Cosby again in A Piece of the Action, portraying wily crooks who rip off the rip-off artists exploiting the poor. James Earl Jones is the cop who pushes the duo to give time to ghetto kids or do time in the pen. Join the fun as these reluctant Robin Hoods get hip to giving instead of taking!

One of the best comedy teams of all time

I was very pleased that these films are now available on DVD.I must say that they may be even more enjoyable now that I am older as they were when I was just a kid in the 70's.I feel that Bill Cosby and Sidney Poiter should be mentioned in discussions concerning the greatest comedy teams of all time.
