LADY COCOA 1975 (VINEGAR SYNDROME) BLU-RAY

I really like this classic black action film.

The very sexy Lola Falana stars as Cocoa, a young woman who has decided to testify against her gangster boyfriend, and after spending a year and a half in jail for contempt is offered one night out in exchange for her testimony.

She is escorted to a Hotel near Carson City called the King's Castle. Once there she turns extremely bitchy and starts demanding everything from fine clothes to fine food. Unknown to her and her police escort, Doug (Gene Washington) there are two hired killers constantly watching her and waiting for a perfect chance to kill her.

There are a lot of twists and turns in this fun little film from director Matt Cimber. Falana does a very good job at playing the hard edged woman who finally realizes all is not what it seems, and the world does not exist for her and her alone.

The rest of the cast includes Alex Dreier, "Mean" Joe Green, Millie Perkins (who has an unforgettable performance) and George "Buck" Flower.

The print from Vinegar Syndrome is a little beat up and has some scratches, but this is how these kinds of movies were meant to be seen. Pefection be damned. I highly recommend this film.
