Across 110th Street is a violent urban thriller about a corrupt old white cop (Anthony Quinn) and an honest young black cop (Yaphet Kotto) chasing three black robbers-cum-murderers who ran away with $300,000 that belonged to the Italian mob. The police must find them before the sadistic Mafia henchman Nick D'Salvio (Anthony Franciosa) reaches them first. Undeniably stylish, with superb location photography and well-staged action sequences, the film has reached a cult status. The title song, performed by Bobby Womack, was later used in Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino's extended homage to the crime flicks of the 1970s. Yuri German
