Review of Mandingo

Mandingo (1975)
1/10
yowza - this one is a keeper!
1 February 1999
Although it might seem illogical that I rate this movie a "1" _AND_ I claim it is a "keeper" ... I stand by my position.

This movie is not very good. In fact, it is bad ... very bad. The acting is way over the top. Historically, many of the events seem to be quite far-fetched and not based in reality. There are actors and actresses in the movie that you recognize and realize, after seeing the movie, why this movie was not mentioned on their resume. But that is why I have seen the movie more than once. It both repulses me and enchants me. And I seek it out any time I find a friend who has not seen it. It is a CAMP CLASSIC, in my humble opinion. I wonder aloud how this movie was ever made. In the end, I don't care how it was made. I am just glad it was made and that there is a recording of it for posterity.
