Juke and Opal (1973): Cast

Winter 1973, in the hazy hour between dusk and dark, street‑wise figures—number runners in gray coats, out‑of‑work barmaids, teenage hustlers selling flashy “gold” watches—seek a place to rest. A young Black man who looks like Richard Pryor enters Opal’s Silver Spoon Café, a greasy R&B dive that could be in Detroit or New York. The café is run by Opal, a savvy Black woman reminiscent of Lily Tomlin, and a tiny bell rings as patrons settle at the counter to share their cravings and schemes.
