Pam "Ms. Blaxploitation" Grier starred in a half dozen black action films during the 1970s blaxploitation era. Typically Grier played take-no-prisoners women who retaliate against those who harm her or those in her orbit. However, Grier's image was softened in this AIP release. She plays fearless Glance Magazine photographer Friday Foster (based on the comic strip character), and she's a charmer as the inquisitive camerawoman who rarely follows the admonition of her exasperated editor (nicely played by Julius Harris): "Don't get involved." Well, of course Friday does get involved with a black billionaire (Thalmus Rasulala), and stumbles onto a white supremacist group's plot to murder all of the country's black leaders (Orville Hampton is responsible for this script!). Friday pulls out all the stops in her zeal to sabotage the plot-she even hijacks a hearse and a milk truck to stop the massacre. The all-star supporting cast includes Yaphet Kotto as Friday's buddy; Eartha Kitt and Godfrey Cambridge, both overacting to the hilt, as rival clothing designers; Jim ("Mr. Magoo") Backus as a mob boss; Ted Lange ("Love Boat") as a jive-talking pimp; and Carl Weathers, pre-Rocky, as a mean hitman.-Doris Worsham
