On Location: Redd Foxx (1978)
"Sanford and Son" made Redd Foxx a household name. This HBO "On Location" features his night-club act, raw and uncensored, and gives the viewers another side of this comedic genius. Starting thirty years before Sanford in what was known as the "chitlin" circuit, he performed with the likes of Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey and the Will Mastin Trio. The Silverbird Hotel in Las Vegas presents the act in the true Redd Foxx tradition.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
