Love this film from a kid growing up in NJ I would watch this on Channel 9. Dorothy Dandridge was great as the mulatto girl who is lusted after by Curt Jurgens. The way the slaves were chained below was heartbreaking to watch and the mistreatment and the final outcome. Alex Cressen is Tamango a former chief now slave bent on freedom. This film was hard to distribute in its heyday but now it is on DVD. One of Ms Dandridge best later film roles before her tragic death. When you watch Roots you can see the similarities of the conditions on the slave ship.

The 3rd appearance of Poitier and Widmark in a film together. Period piece movie about The Vikings, The Moors and just all in out fun. Poitier was on the cover of Ebony magazine promoting this film in full costume. Sidney Poitier is regal while Richard Widmark is comedic and full of lively action as the Viking. Most of all the music score fits well with this movie. Love it

Part Burning Bed part Sleeping with the Enemy Corbin Bernsen is chilling as the abusing spouse out to make Donna Mills life a living hell. Robin Given's role is small I wanted more. This movie about domestic violence is good but could have been better.
