 min.\n35mm. Color.\n\n\n\nHarlem Nights marks the only film written\, 
 directed\, produced by and starring Eddie Murphy. Set in 1930s Harlem\, the 
 film imagines a world of Black nightlife\, entrepreneurship and survival 
 amid gangsters and corrupt cops. Anchored by a jazzy score blending big 
 band and Duke Ellington standards\, the film unites three generations of 
 Black comedy — Redd Foxx\, Richard Pryor and Murphy — alongside an 
 overflowing ensemble cast. Often misunderstood on release\, Harlem Nights 
 stands as a bold assertion of authorship and creative control\, envisioning 
 Black autonomy over space\, style and destiny.\n\nDirector/Screenwriter: 
 Eddie Murphy. With: Eddie Murphy\, Richard Pryor\, Redd Foxx\, Jasmine 
 Guy\, Della Reese.\n\n
LOCATION:Billy Wilder Theater\, UCLA Film & Television Archive
