COTTON CLUB, THE (1984 ENCORE)

It was the jazz age. It was an era of elegance and violence. The action was gambling. The stakes were life and death.

In this lavish, 1930s-era drama, Harlem's legendary Cotton Club becomes a hotbed of passion and violence as the lives and loves of entertainers and gangsters collide. Now, Francis Ford Coppola's extraordinary film is brought to vivid new life in The Cotton Club Encore. Featuring never-before-seen scenes and musical sequences that deepen the story lines, this remastered and beautifully restored version represents Coppola's fully realized vision of The Cotton Club.
