“THE MACK” OPENS Af THEATRE
Make way for THE MACK, the biggest and the best!
THE MACK, starring Max Julien as the pimp who makes it to the top of his profession and fights to stay there, opens ......... ee. oa oa Theater.
Julien plays Goldie, the mack (street language for a highly-successful pimp) who attracts the sexiest girls, rides in the biggest cars and wears the best clothes in town. “I’m in control,”” the man says, and he means it!
Richard Pryor, who co-starred with Diana Ross in ‘‘Lady Sings the Blues,” plays Slim in THE MACK, which also features Carol Speed and Don Gordon.
Willie Hutch, composer of such hits as “California My Way” and “‘Learn to Fly,”” wrote and conducted the score for THE MACK, to be released by Motown Records.
THE MACK was filmed in and around the Oakland — San Francisco area. One of the highlights of the film is the sequence actually shot at the annual Players Ball in Hollywood, the ‘““Academy Awards” of mackdom. The ladies in sequined hot pants, wigs and jewels are outdone only by the macks in silks, velvets, furs and sporting ivory-topped canes.
THE MACK is dedicated “‘in memory of a man, Frank D. Ward,” who was killed during the production of the picture. The Ward Brothers, Frank, Ted, Willie and Andrew, served as technical advisors on THE MACK and also portrayed themselves in the film. :
