Synopsis: This overheated melodrama tells the story of a proud slave-owning family in the antebellum South and their eventual descent into adultery, incest, and sexual congress with those of other races.... This overheated melodrama tells the story of a proud slave-owning family in the antebellum South and their eventual descent into adultery, incest, and sexual congress with those of other races. There's a Southern belle who's a panting nymphomaniac, a white man who craves African flesh -- and every black male is a well-endowed sexual stallion. Louisiana plantation life around 1840 is the setting for this racy drama based on the book by Kyle Onstott. [More]

Reviews for Mandingo
Mandingo is excessive, yet its excesses invariably reveal the caustic truths of social critique.
The performances are overdramatized and unbelievable in a script that suffers from the same weaknesses.
Good to see Fleischer returning to the kind of psycho-pathological thriller that he can handle so well.
