ClassicMovies_fan_chick Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The first time I heard of 'Mandingo' I right away saw that it was both a bold and well done novel. When I saw that the film was going to be shown on TCM for the VERY first time, I was stunned. It was one of the best picks Donald Bogle did for discussion with Ben. The film was just as profound as the book itself. The story was not sugar coding anything and told the truth about slavery in the South: Brutal, honest, and ugly! What are your thoughts on the book and film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarjoe Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I did like Drum (1976) TCM should show that sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
