RESTORED UNCUT WITH 2+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
After the termination of his deal with 20th Century Fox, Russ Meyer returned to independent filmmaking with perhaps his most wildly ambitious work - combining elements of blaxploitation, period epic and sexual melodrama - now presented on Blu-ray for the first time ever: In 1835 colonial West Indies, cruel plantation owner Lady Susan Walker (future British aristocrat Anouska Hempel, who would successfully block the film's UK release) rules her slaves with racist brutality and a black bullwhip. But will the arrival of a studly nobleman (David Warbeck of THE BEYOND) trigger an island inferno of lust, violence and vengeance? Percy Herbert (THE WILD GEESE), Thomas Baptiste (AMIN: THE RISE AND FALL) and Dave Prowse (STAR WARS, THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN) co-star in the film Russ himself called 'hellishly entertaining' - also known as SWEET SUZY, THE DUTCHESS OF DOOM and RUSS MEYER'S SLAVES - shot on location in Barbados, newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative and seething with over 2 hours of all-new Special Features.
