...unconscionable amount of time it requires for the blonde mistress of Falconhurst to invite into her bed the handsome black slave (Ken Norton) her husband purchased to improve the breeding stock down in the quarters. Until this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama.

Luxury goods are concentrated, of course, in the few lavishly wealthy homes. The poor are trapped on the edges of a sluggish and static economy that can neither employ them nor produce to fulfill their needs...
