Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Uptown Saturday Night
Two blue collar working friends Wardell and Steve seeks excitement by going out one night to a elegant club Zenobia. Filled with big time money makers and surrounded by gorgeous women and gambling, gunmen entered the fancy club, robbing people of their jewerley and money and also Steve's wallet containing a $50,000 lottery ticket. This will leave the duo to a chase to find the wallet hiring a not so smooth private detective, while running to gangsters, a crazy politician and a Marlon Brando-like mobster.
