The movie is called American Gangster and it's finally being released this week. All I know about it is that it stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe and it's set in 1969. I hung around for awhile (didn't see any stars), took these shots, and I've been waiting a whole year to post them because I thought it would be cool to show them just when the movie came out. So if you go to see this movie and you see this scene, remember - you saw it here first!

Since the picture shows the nightclub as "Small's", I'm guessing it's supposed to be the legendary Small's Paradise, one of Harlem's greatest clubs for decades at 135th and Seventh. I believe by the late '60s it was owned by baskeball legend Wilt Chamberlain. It is now the Thurgood Marshall Academy, with--of all things--an IHOP at street level.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, rexlic. Very interesting!
ReplyDeletereally cool, I wonder why they didn't shoot this in Harlem? The second shot with the figure and the Rolls Royce is my favorite

I am an entrepreneur from Northern VA and I came upon your cab blog and I wanted to ask you some questions if you have any time to help me. I am developing a cool new service called HailCab.........and I wanted to get your feedback on it - to tell me if you feel this would be worthwhile and especially if you think that cab companies and cab drivers would adopt it? Also - I am looking for individual cab drivers or cab companies to test it with me for free. Please read below and contact me at the bottom if you are interested.

Andrew - the cabs in NYC are regulated within an inch of their tailpipes by the Taxi and Limousine Commission. Any innovations to the methods of hailing a cab would have to be approved by them. You can find my email address in my profile, btw.
