In Murder At Lenox Avenue, director Arthur Dreifuss effectively captures the angst and pressing issues of America’s black community in the 1940’s. Set against a cultural backdrop of swing music and political unrest, the film is an authentic representation of those troubled times in New York’s Harlem district. It tells a compassionate story of love, betrayal and conflicting loyalties while highlighting the principles that fired America’s most influential black reformers. This classic 1941 feature film with an exclusively African-American cast – now on DVD from A2ZCDS - will capture your heart and transport you back to one of America’s most vital eras.
