Die Südstaaten der USA während der Zeit vor dem Bürgerkrieg : Auf der heruntergekommenen, von dem Witwer Warren Maxwell und seinem Sohn betriebenen Südstaaten-Plantage wird der aus dem Mandinka-Volk stammende Sklave Ganymede, genannt Mede, für Kämpfe auf Leben und Tod gegen andere Sklaven trainiert. Maxwells Sohn Hammond ignoriert seine Ehefrau Blanche weitgehend, seit er in der Hochzeitsnacht erkannte, dass sie keine Jungfrau mehr war. Stattdessen vergewaltigt er seine Sklavin Ellen, während Blanche Mede zum Sex zwingt. Ellen bekommt ein Kind von Hammond, das dieser verkaufen lässt. Als Blanche ebenfalls ein Kind bekommt und dieses schwarz ist, wird es vom Arzt getötet, Hammond vergiftet Blanche und anschließend tötet er Mede in einem Kessel mit kochendem Wasser. Dabei kommt ein Sklave in den Besitz seines Gewehrs, er erschießt Maxwell.

Films directed by Richard Fleischer
Mandingo is a 1975 American historical melodrama film which focuses on the Atlantic slave trade in the Antebellum South , breeding of slaves, use of black slaves in fighting matches, and interracial relationships between white slave masters and black slaves. The film's title refers to the mandinka people , who are referred to as "Mandingos", and described as being good slaves for fighting matches. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis for Paramount Pictures , the film was directed by Richard Fleischer . The screenplay by Norman Wexler was adapted from the 1957 novel Mandingo by Kyle Onstott , and the 1961 play Mandingo by Jack Kirkland (which is derived from the novel).

The film stars Perry King as Hammond, the son of cruel slave master Warren Maxwell ( James Mason ). Hammond is known to rape the female slaves on his father's plantation, and his father orders him to marry a white woman to produce grandchildren with no black ancestry, leading Hammond to marry Blanche ( Susan George ), his cousin, who becomes jealous that Hammond pays more attention to his black lover Ellen ( Brenda Sykes ), than to his wife, leading Blanche to seduce the " Mandingo " fighting slave Mede ( Ken Norton ).

Mandingo received negative reviews upon release. However, retrospective reviews have been much more favorable. It has been variously seen as a big budget exploitation film made by a major studio, a serious film about American slavery examining historical horrors committed against African Americans, or as a work of camp . The film was a box office hit, [ citation needed ] and was followed by a sequel, Drum (1976), which starred Norton as a different character, and Warren Oates in the role of Hammond originated by King in Mandingo .

The movie is set in the Deep South of the United States prior to the American Civil War . Falconhurst is a run-down plantation owned by widower Warren Maxwell and largely run by his son, Hammond. Hammond and his cousin, Charles, visit a plantation where both men are given black women out of hospitality. Hammond chooses Ellen, who is a virgin . Both she and Hammond watch as Charles abuses and rapes the other woman, with Charles claiming that she likes it. Hammond asks Ellen if this is true, and she says no. Hammond then sleeps with Ellen.

Warren Maxwell pressures him to marry, so Hammond chooses his cousin, Blanche, who is desperate to get out of her house to escape her brother Charles. It is implied that Charles raped her when she was 13. After their wedding night, Hammond is sure that she is not a virgin—a claim Blanche denies. On their way back from their honeymoon, Hammond returns to the plantation where Ellen is kept and purchases her as his sex slave. Eventually, he comes to genuinely care for her.

Meanwhile, Hammond purchases a Mandingo slave named Ganymede. Nicknamed "Mede", the slave works for Hammond as a prize-fighter. He's forced to soak in a large cauldron of very hot salt water to ostensibly toughen his skin. Hammond also breeds Mede with Pearl, even though Pearl is a blood relation of Mede's. Hammond makes a great deal of money betting on Mede's fights.

Rejected by Hammond, Blanche becomes a slovenly alcoholic who does nothing all day long. While Hammond is on a business trip alone, Blanche discovers Ellen is pregnant. Correctly assuming the baby is Hammond's, Blanche beats Ellen. Ellen flees, but falls down some stairs, and miscarries . Hammond (who had promised Ellen that her baby would be freed), returns to Falconhurst and discovers Ellen lost the baby. Threatened with bodily harm by Warren, Ellen does not tell him how she miscarried. Hammond gives Ellen a pair of ruby earrings, which she wears while serving an evening meal. Hammond gave the matching necklace to Blanche, who becomes enraged to find Ellen being publicly favored by Hammond.

Hammond leaves on another business trip, taking Ellen with him. A drunken Blanche demands that Mede come to her bedroom. Although the other slaves attempt to stop him, Mede does as he is ordered. Blanche says she will accuse Mede of rape if he does not have sex with her, so he spends the night with her.

Hammond returns to the plantation. A great deal of time has passed since Hammond and Blanche's marriage, and Warren Maxwell is eager for a grandchild. Sensing that the marriage is troubled, Warren locks Hammond and Blanche in a room together and refuses to let them out until they reconcile. They appear to do so. A short time later, Blanche announces she is pregnant, but when the baby is born, it is clear the child is mixed race. To avoid a scandal, the child is killed on doctor's orders. Sickened at Blanche's sexual indiscretion, Hammond asks the doctor if he has the poison he uses on old slaves and horses. He pours the poison into a toddy for Blanche. An outraged Hammond seeks out Mede, intending to kill him. As Hammond attempts to force Mede into a boiling cauldron of water, Mede tries to tell him that Blanche blackmailed him into having sex. Hammond shoots Mede twice with a rifle and the second shot throws Mede into the boiling water. Hammond uses a pitchfork to drown Mede. In a fit of fury, the slave Agamemnon ( Richard Ward ) picks up the rifle and aims it at Hammond. When Warren calls him a "crazy nigger" and demands that he put the gun down, the slave shoots and kills Warren. As he runs away, Hammond kneels helpless next to Warren's lifeless body.

The original novel sold over 4.5 million copies. Film rights were eventually bought by Dino de Laurentiis . [1]

Producer Ralphe Serpe said during filming that the movie was:

A human, sociological story that's going to bring about a better understanding between the races ... We're faithful to the story of the book but not the spirit. I mean, the book's hackwork, isn't it? It's almost repulsive. A lot of people have read it, but they read it for the wrong reasons. It's really a story of love. We had the script rewritten three times. ... I hated that ending in the book where the guy boils the slave down and pours the soup over his wife's grave. I mean, we have the slave boiled but we cut out the part where he pours the soup on his grave. He just ... pulls away. And we know that tomorrow there's going to be a lot of trouble. It's really a very beautiful ending. [1]
Charlton Heston turned down the role of the father and the role of his son was rejected by Timothy Bottoms , Jan Michael Vincent , Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges . Boxer Ken Norton turned down a $250,000 gate to fight Jerry Quarry to make the film. [1]

The critical reception of Mandingo was predominantly negative upon release, with the film being seen as being campy by reviewers in 1975. [2] Roger Ebert despised the film, calling it "racist trash, obscene in its manipulation of human beings and feelings, and excruciating to sit through in an audience made up largely of children, as I did last Saturday afternoon". The critic gave it a "zero star" rating. [3] Richard Schickel of Time magazine found the film boring and cliché-ridden. [4] Leonard Maltin ranked the film as a "BOMB" and dismissed with the word "Stinko!" [5]

In the years following the film's initial release, the reception of the film became more favorable. The Chicago Reader writer Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote in 1985 that Mandingo is "One of the most neglected and underrated Hollywood films of its era [...] it’s doubtful whether many more insightful and penetrating movies about American slavery exist." [2] Movie critic Robin Wood was enthusiastic about the film, calling it "the greatest film about race ever made in Hollywood." [6] The New York Times columnist Dave Kehr called it "a thinly veiled Holocaust film that spares none of its protagonists", further describing it as "Fleischer's last great crime film, in which the role of the faceless killer is played by an entire social system." [7] However, on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film only holds a 26% critical approval rating. [8]

In 1996, director Quentin Tarantino has cited Mandingo and Showgirls as the only two instances "in the last twenty years [that] a major studio made a full-on, gigantic, big-budget exploitation movie ". [9] In Tarantino's film Django Unchained (2012), the terminology of "Mandingo fighting" was inspired by the 1975 film. [10]

Jim Edwards of CBS News criticized the film for its perceived use of racist stereotyping . [11] However, the film has also been the subject of racial analysis. [12] [13] [14]

Drum , the sequel to Mandingo , was released the following year. Released by United Artists , it was once again produced by Dino De Laurentiis . Ken Norton, Brenda Sykes, and Lillian Hayman were the only actors from the first film to return for the sequel. Norton and Sykes played different characters, and Hayman returned in the role of Lucretia Borgia. Warren Oates took over for Perry King in the role of Hammond Maxwell. The story is set 15 years after the events of the first film.

James Mason admitted in interviews that he only made the film to make his alimony payments.
During Mede's first fight in the city, he and his opponent are wrestling on the grass. When they roll over on the floor, the grass moves like a slipping carpet would, revealing it to be a sheet of artificial green, probably lying on the floor of a sound stage.
The international version of the film (released on PAL region 2 DVD) contains a different cut of the film that runs approx. 5 minutes shorter than the U.S. release but also has many scenes presented in alternate clothed takes. In all 12 scenes were either trimmed or re-edited with alternate shots/angles/takes:
Scene where slave is bent over and inspected for hemorrhoids is cut. Scene where the wench is being prepared for her deflowering is presented in an alternate take where her breasts are not exposed. Scene with pregnant wench is shot with alternate angles to obscure nudity. Perry King's full frontal nudity is cut and replaced with a closer shot that reveals he is wearing shorts when he kneels down to pray (It looks like a goof - only a bit of the waistband can be seen at the corner of the frame). Alternate takes of the slave being strung up to be beaten are used to obscure nudity, and many shots of him being beat and left bloody are cut. A few seconds where Perry King's cousin rips off a wench's dress and bends her over to begin beating her is cut to remove nudity. The beating is left intact. The slave market scene is edited to remove the topless wenches on display, and the shot where the German widow sticks her hand into Ken Norton's shorts and "inspects" him is cut short. The second shot with her hand in and then removing it is left intact though. An alternate take is used with a prostitute clothed rather than nude at the bawdy house. A few seconds of a prostitute rubbing on Perry King's crotch is cut. An alternate take is used during the fight at the bawdy house so that a prostitute is seen holding her dress up while she cheers whereas in the original she lets it fall and her breasts be exposed. The entire scene between Perry King and Brenda Sykes in which she asks him if he'll let their child go free is presented in alternate clothed takes. In the original film they are both completely nude. Even the camera angles and setups are the same, only with clothes in the international version. In the scene where Ken Norton fights a man to death one long shot where the other fighter claws his back is cut. Also cut is when Ken bites down on the other fighter's neck, is pulled off, and then bites into his neck again. All the close-ups are cut. The Susan George/Ken Norton love scene is almost entirely missing. Ken Norton's nudity is cut, and then the scene ends in an alternate take when the two go out of frame onto the bed. The original scene went on for much longer and exposed Ken Norton's buttocks and Susan George's breasts. The German theatrical version does not feature any of these alterations and is identical to the U.S. release.

This unflinching, hard-hitting look at slavery is a severely underrated and misjudged film. That's probably because it sheds light onto a tough, painful subject that many people would prefer to ignore or forget; if you're expecting a "slaves-and-masters-are-all-a-big-happy-family" depiction of the life in the mid-19th-century Southern plantations, then this simply isn't your movie. "Mandingo" was followed, one year later, by "Drum". They are both far better films than their reputations might make you believe, and they are also handsome, almost sumptuous productions with a far lower "sleaze" quotient than many reviews seem to indicate. They are both worth seeing - preferably as a double bill. (***)
