Interesting facts

Darktown Strutters is a 1975 blaxploitation musical comedy film from New World Pictures.

Production

The film was written by George Armitage, who had worked with producer Gene Corman before. Armitage:

I wrote Darktown Strutters in three days, and the script form is all one sentence, the entire script is one sentence. I just did it to have fun. I was going to direct it, but I had another script that I sold called Trophy, which was about two police departments who end up in a shooting war, and it was really a labor of love, so I asked Gene to excuse me to work on that, but it never got made, unfortunately.
