A great cast and great director Rossen do all they can to push the envelope of colonialism, interracial love, Caribbean politics, extramarital sex, all to good effect considering the times and drastic restrictions in Hollywood against such hot topics. Joan Fontaine and James Mason give their usual stellar performances in quite uncharacteristic roles, while Dandridge and Belafonte provide the Black perspective in fleshed-out characters. Both are involved with white romantic partners, in the case of Dandridge, one we fully root for, while Belafonte and Fontaine's romance is doomed to fail because of his commitment to being a civil rights leader, something that he certainly became in real life. A brave and mostly successful film. Oh yes, and the location shoot is quite spectacular.

The best thing about season two dropping is going back and watching season one over again. Rez Dogs is so unlike anything else "on TV" ever, so funny, poignant, provocative, with such engaging characters all down the cast. The four leads are just brilliant, so natural. And, needless to say, it says volumes about America.

A sad example of taking a perfect movie and twisting it into something contrived and ultimately meaningless for the sake of I guess the ego of the creators. All the characters are tired. Only Greta Lee injects a little of the old "life" into this new "season."
