Uptown Saturday Night
ActionAdventureComedyCrime104 min
A nightclub holdup sends a winning lottery ticket into the wrong hands, and two blue-collar friends into a search that drags them through the underworld. Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby lead the scramble as everyday guys suddenly dealing with gangsters, hustlers, and anyone else chasing the payout. Directed by Poitier, the 1974 comedy threads robbery, gambling, and street-level schemes through a fast-moving ensemble that includes Harry Belafonte, Richard Pryor, and Flip Wilson.
