Cleopatra Jones 1973 G, 89 min. Genre: Action
Director: Jack Starrett Cast: Tamara Dobson, Shelley Winters, Brenda Sykes, Bernie Casey, Antonio Fargas, Bill McKinney, Dan Frazer, Esther Rolle, Stafford Morgan, Albert Popwell, Angela Gibbs, John Alderman
This could be a nice twist with a sexy female agent–but! Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson) is sent in to fight world drug trade. The nemesis is played by Shelley Winters...a stretch! Lots of violence.

Mandingo 1975 R, 126 min. Genre: Drama
Director: Richard Fleischer Cast: James Mason, Susan George, Perry King, Richard Ward, Brenda Sykes, Ken Norton, Paul Benedict, Ben Masters, Ji-Tu Cumbuka, Roy Poole
Lust and man's-inhumanity-to-man are the subject matter of this story of life on a Southern plantation before the Civil War. Unusual for Mason to be in such a weak film.
