Across 110th Street (1972, 102 min), directed by Barry Shear, follows the upstanding African-American Lieutenant William Pope (Yaphet Kotto), who has to work with a racist, but streetwise Italian-American Captain Frank Mattelli (Anthony Quinn) to solve the murder of three men. The film received considerable critical praise from writer Greil Marcus and others for surpassing the limitations of the blaxploitation genre.
