Calvin Lockhart shines as Jason, a struggling black filmmaker in New York City who has to resort to borrowing money from the mafia to finish his latest movie. Even though this movie rips off the same plot as Hollywood Man, another low-budget movie starring William Smith, this movie actually is buoyed by great supporting performances by Richard Lynch, Charles MacGregor, and special guest star Raymond St. Jacques (he and Lockhart starred together in the classic Cotton Comes to Harlem).
