Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMarlene Clark said during an interview in 2000 that the movie received a few favorable reviews from critics intrigued by its depiction of the Yoruba religion, first-hand knowledge of which came courtesy of the film's technical advisor. She said "I don't know how they found that man! He was an ex-pimp from Harlem who had bought some property in South Carolina and established an African village. He had like five wives, and of course, being an African king, you get to have all the queens, right? And this was the guy the producers hired to tell them about the Yoruba religion! We all stayed in the same motel. He was in one room, his wives were in another, and he would call for whichever wife he wanted that particular evening. I remember thinking, 'This isn't a big leap from being a pimp in New York, except you get to wear a lot of nice robes!'"

Featured review
I just watched this movie last night. This flick (as far as I can find) is only available on VHS - I've got a version with an alternate title "Color Of Love". I have to say that Marlene Clark as "Jenny" gave a very good performance, the most believable in the film. If you are an animal activist, you may be disturbed by some of the rituals performed in the movie - although they insinuate situations, you don't actually see any animals abused....As a person who is not very religious or has an interest in voodoo, the thing that drew me to this movie was the funky music throughout the movie. One scene will have hardcore tribal music at a sacrificing ritual - then cut to a bar scene will an old man movin' to a break in "Funky But"!!! Worth watching for Marlene Clark's performance, and if you like to expand past MGM's Soul Cinema series into the odder flicks around the era...
