The Harder they Come was one of the most important and iconic films of the era. It spread the word on Reggae across the world, including Africa. Lucky enough to see him in person once, still love his music. RIP Jimmy.

Pedant’s Corner- I think Victoria was quoting the novel Children of the Arbat, where Stalin says something like the quote, rather than the monster himself.
