Life

Ted Demme's prison comedy-drama for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. Framed for a murder they didn't commit during a 1932 bootlegging run into Mississippi, two Harlem hustlers are sentenced to a life term on a Southern prison farm and spend the following six decades enduring, and outlasting, it side by side. Eddie Murphy stars as small-time hustler Rayford "Ray" Gibson opposite Martin Lawrence as bank teller Claude Banks, with Obba Babatundé, Ned Beatty, and Bernie Mac in support. (IMDb)

Watches

Hamilton pocket watch
Worn by Eddie Murphy as Rayford "Ray" Gibson. Hamilton spent the first half of the twentieth century as America's leading railroad-grade watchmaker, supplying more than half the pocket watches that kept U.S. railways to schedule, which puts one in the pocket of a Harlem hustler in 1932 on firm ground. The credit gives no model, grade, or case detail to narrow it further. (Hamilton)
