“The Harder They Come” Movie by Perry Henzell


The Harder They Come is a 1972 Jamaican crime film directed by Perry Henzell and co-written by Trevor D. Rhone, and starring Jimmy Cliff. The film is most famous for its reggae soundtrack that is said to have “brought reggae to the world”.

Ivanhoe Martin (Jimmy Cliff) arrives in Kingston, Jamaica, looking for work and, after some initial struggles, lands a recording contract as a reggae singer. He records his first song, “The Harder They Come,” but after a bitter dispute with a manipulative producer named Hilton (Bob Charlton), soon finds himself resorting to petty crime in order to pay the bills.

He deals marijuana, kills some abusive cops and earns local folk hero status. Meanwhile, his record is topping the charts.

The film was a sensation in Jamaica and the rest of the world in the years to come due to its naturalistic portrayal of black Jamaicans in real locations and its use of local Patois (Jamaican Creole).

However, the popularity of the movie at the time was limited outside of Jamaica because the local Patois spoken by the characters was so thick that it required subtitles, making it possibly “the first English-language movie in history to require subtitles in the United States”.
