Review of Friday Foster (1975) by Alexandra W — 27 May 2011

I couldn't tell you even 50% of this movie's plot--something about government conspiracies and eccentric millionaires and Pam Grier as a sassy black Nancy Drew. Highlights include Eartha Kitt as a character who probably would've been played by Madeline Khan in a predominantly white movie; all the embarrassing exchanges with the neighborhood pimp; Pam's western-inspired outfit she wears during the climax; and, of course, the awesomely funky theme song (Friday, Friday.

.. Whatcha doin girl?).
