Slaves (1969)
Slaves

I saw this movie in my Senior of High School. What impressed me about it was it is the first time I saw a successful a slave revolt. Typically what happened was the leader(s) would be executed as examples and life would continue on, as usual. Well, not in this story. The revolt took place in the absence of the leader, just as it was planned. Dione Warwick's character is tragic and lonely. When she sees Ossie's character, she is immediately drawn to him because she hasn't seen a slave with his bearing, attitude and intelligence. Stephen Boyd's character is in love with Dione and jealous of her interest in Ossie. It is a very different movie about slavery.
