Cleopatra Jones 03/19/19

Trailers from Hell’s Charlie Largent lays out all the reasons to celebrate this original, before she invaded The Casino of Gold. Co-stars are a gallery of favorites: Bernie Casey, Antonio Fargas, Bill McKinney, Esther Rolle and Shelley Winters enjoying herself mightily as the evil druglord, ‘Mommy.’ On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
