The Cotton Club

You step into Harlem’s Cotton Club in 1930, where tap shoes click against green baize and whiskey glints under amber lights. A rising trumpeter’s ambitions tangle with a gangster’s empire and the club’s star dancer’s heart. The camera lingers on sweat-stained floors and silk dresses, catching the crackle before the chorus sings. A Francis Ford Coppola waltz through jazz-age glamour, all sequins and steel.
