Across 110th Street is a violent urban thriller about a corrupt, older white cop (
Anthony Quinn) and an honest, young African-American cop (
Yaphet Kotto) chasing three 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. 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.
