Black Caesar is a 1973 American blaxploitation film,
starring Fred Williamson and Gloria Hendry. The film was
written and directed by Larry Cohen. It is a remake of the
1931 film Little Caesar. It features a notable musical score
(Black Caesar) by James Brown (with heavy input from his
bandleader Fred Wesley), his first experience of writing
music for film. A sequel titled, Hell Up in Harlem was
