Cleopatra Jones

Title character Tamara Dobson, a big time jet-setting federal drug agent, visiting with her boyfriend Reuben (Bernie Casey), who runs an LA drug rehab center that was just raided by crooked cops, counseling caution, and enemies lying in wait, in Cleopatra Jones, 1973.

Confrontation here between brassy LA heroin trafficker “Mommy” (Shelley Winters) and her top distributor Doodlebug (Antonio Fargas), who wants to cut a new deal, and feels sure she can handle the threat posed by the federal agent title character, in Cleopatra Jones

Having received word that the drug rehab center she supports was raided back in LA, big-time federal narcotics agent Tamara Dobson (title character) arrives at LAX, where goons representing the heroin kingpin she’s been pursuing (Shelley Winters) are waiting, in Cleopatra Jones, 1975.

Joining the credits, title character Tamara Dobson gets off a chopper and calls in a raid on a Turkish poppy field, John Orchard the Brit general, in Warner Bros.' Cleopatra Jones, 1973, co-starring Bernie Casey, with Shelley Winters as the drug-dealer villain.

Made for TV trailer does little justice to the big-budget Warner Bros. “Blaxploitation” feature Cleopatra Jones, 1973, starring Tamara Dobson, which made enough money to justify an even more expensive sequel.
