IMDb
(DVD, Fox)
Tropical melodrama revolving around race relations on a Caribbean island. James Mason is the son of a wealthy British plantation owner who commits murder in a jealous fit of rage, all for naught, since his wife is innocent. Joan Collins falls in love with a visiting military man and gets pregnant. She won't marry him because there might be a Jamaican in her family history and she doesn't want to spoil his English pedigree. Harry Belafonte is a local who falls in love with pretty Joan Fontaine, but he won't go through with it for fear of losing votes. The murder plot is by far the most interesting, but gets the least screen time, the rest of it is just fluff.
