Racism | The Bedlam Files

Performer Profile: Larry B. Scott

As a child of the eighties who happened to be a prolific moviegoer, I couldn’t help but notice the presence of Larry B. Scott

Just what the title says.

A partially successful 1951 release that gives filmed opera a good name

Racially motivated science fiction? It definitely exists

Of the many black uprising fantasies that appeared in the late 1960s and early 70s this is the most expansive and outrageous of the lot

A posthumously published novel by the late Chester Himes that like most posthumously published novels has a number of problems

An ersatz 1940 sequel to the infamous exploitation atrocity INGAGI that’s of note because it was allegedly the first all-African American horror film

In which a white DA gets his brain transplanted into the body of an African-American man. It shoulda been better!

A documentary about police officers from 1969 that seems especially relevant to 2020

I’m very sorry to bid farewell to Sir Alan Parker, who passed on July 31
