Episode 185: ACROSS 110th STREET (1972)

When $300,000 goes missing in New York City – a numbers racket payout of both Italian and black mob money – cops, mafiosi, and gangsters alike chase down every lead to get it back. In ACROSS 110TH STREET, lines are drawn between cops and criminals, wealthy and poor, white and black, neighborhoods and ghettos. Jim Harris, an impoverished Black man with a disability, plans to take advantage of all those intersections with one big heist. - “NIC CAGE, NATIONAL TREASURE” (June - Aug 2022 at the Trylon): https://www.trylon.org/films/category/national-treasure/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at [email protected] to get in touch!
