			A period piece about colonial slavery, the plot centered around Lady Susan, a cruel slave-owner and plantation mistress, and her domination of both the black and white men on the island. [[Anouska Hempel]], a New Zealand-born actress well known in the UK, was cast at the last minute when Meyer's original lead fell ill.

			Meyer was dissatisfied with the film, and for years afterwards he complained of Hempel's unsuitability for her part. In the late 1990s Hempel, now Lady Weinberg, bought the British rights; since then it has not been seen on UK television, though it has been released on DVD there.
