vintage black woman film rec: Get Christie Love!
i just finished watching this film & i loved it! i think old movies like this may be my new addiction honestly. it follows the story of christie love, an undercover detective in her persuit to bust a large group of drug dealers. though it’s quite sad at times, it’s more upbeat than it sounds i promise. or maybe it’s just because the visual effects don’t look too realistic so i’m desensitised to it.
anyway, i loved how christie (played by teresa graves) was so confident and fiery! and so charming. i also like the main ‘couple’ that consisted of christie & mr.reardon (i think that’s his name? they’re not together but it’s heavily implied). it’s a movie from the 1970s so it reflects that era; christie, the main black character, is called the n slur by a white male while working undercover, so please mind that.
i’m just happy to see a vintage film starring a black woman that isn’t about her being victimised constantly. i very much enjoyed it! 🎀

This reel has a scene in it from a pilot I have been trying to get me hands on for the longest time! It's from the unsold pilot Get Christie Love and OMG to I want to see the pilot even more after this hot scene! It's the very first clip!

actually i love it when the characters are all lying. i love it when they all have secrets and none of them trust each other. i love being given clues that solve puzzles i haven't even been presented with yet. i also love it when i get chills watching a scene without even knowing what it means, and when i do know what it means, i get even more chills. i love theorizing and thinking and solving and coming up with possibilities of where a story might be going. i love it and i will do it for free, for fun, for no real reason.
this is a mystery appreciation post!! if you appreciate mysteries and secrets and stories that slowly unravel before you, please interact!!!

I have taken to reading Agatha Christie in my free time and I am BEGGING tumblr to get on this train. I need there to be a Poirot renaissance NOW. His tboy swagger is off the fucking wazoo. His combined autism/ocd smoke is too real they're gonna kill him
