This corny and dreary Peyton Place wannabe is a discredit to everyone involved in it. The attempt to cash in on the civil rights movement was just appalling. The story features stereotypes that were incredible even back in its day, let alone now. It's amazing to see so many well-known actors cast here, but none of them rise above the muck. The story concerns the efforts to make a fortune by a rich, racist, and greedy aristocrat (Michael Caine) who's a cross between Simon Legree and J.R. Ewing. The only reason to watch the film are that the stereotypes are so over the top, it's almost comical. Also amusing are the bogus, Honey Chile' southern accents. I did laugh a few times, which broke the embarrassment and boredom. But there weren't even enough of those moments.
