Dont Play Us Cheap (1973, Melvin Van Peebles)
Set on the theater stage, Mr. Melvin Van Peebles adapted his Saaaaturday Night party musical for the screen. Two mischievous batdevils suddenly appear in one familys Harlem home to break and derange their festivities. The whole visit is nightmarish, very strange, and still very much a party of strange song, stomp, and stark lighting changes for the good and wicked alike. The devil is a roach to be smashed (smash him ) and Broadway never was such a fine horrorshow.
