Mandingo (DVD)

There'll be a hot time in the old South tonight, as an 1840s plantation owner (James Mason) delights in buying and breeding slaves: men to fight as bare-knuckle boxers and women to service him and his son (Perry King) sexually. The sordid goings-on reach a fever pitch when the son falls for a female slave (Brenda Sykes) while his wife (Susan George) is drawn to a newly purchased fighter (Ken Norton). 127 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
