The Late Film: Come Back Charleston Blue

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring Godfrey Cambridge, Raymond St Jacques

If the legendary gangster Charleston Blue really did die in 1932, how is it that his custom-made open razors keep turning up close to the corpses of some very dead crooks? The off-beat adventures of detectives Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson continue as they solve the mystery in this irreverent and fast-paced comedy thriller.
