Moon Over Harlem
A classic of early African American cinema, this gripping crime drama dives into love, betrayal, and corruption in Harlem’s nightlife. When a scheming gangster seduces and marries a wealthy widow, her fortune – and her family – become targets of his ruthless plans. Tensions explode as her daughter and community fight to break free from his control. Blending melodrama with social commentary, Moon Over Harlem offers a rare glimpse of Harlem’s vibrancy in the 1930s and remains an important piece of Black film history.
