Warren Oates, as Hammond Maxwell, mentions having had two wives, the first of whom bore his daughter.
But in Mandingo, Hammond's first wife Blanche, played by Susan George, bore him no daughter.
Has Hammond perhaps been married three times, but doesn't mention Blanche because he's embarrassed by her behaviour?
May'be and also that he murdered her.
shareIn the book Mandingo, Blanche and Hammond have a daughter Sophie - and it's implied that she MIGHT be the incestuous offspring of Blanche and her brother Charles because Charles is cock-eyed and so's the baby. So Blanche was knocked up by bro and she marries Hammond and passes it off as his. I just finished reading the original edition of it (not that more common "abridged, uncensored" one) and it was left hanging as to just who actually fathered Sophie. Funny that the incest between Mede & Big Pearl (his sister) & Lucy (his mother) was right out front, but white incest was danced around a bit.
I was curious as to the mention of Wife #2 - the one who ran off with a melodrama actor. I've only read Mandingo of the entire Falconhurst series. I have most all of them, so maybe that's a wife in another book.
