About
“Hotter than Bond. Cooler than Bullitt,” movie posters proclaimed. John Shaft was
indeed a shut-your-mouth detective to reckon with, a fact emphasized from the film’s
start by Isaac Hayes’ Academy Award®-winning Best Original Song and Oscar-
nominated score.* Richard Roundtree plays the smart, tough, confident lead, a private
investigator whose hunt for a kidnapped woman puts him in the middle of feuding
syndicates. Gordon Parks directs from a screenplay that Ernest Tidyman (that same
year’s Oscar winner for The French Connection) co-scripted from his own novel.
John Shaft is an icon of change from an era of change. Today, Shaft still tells it like it is.
