PRODUCT INFORMATION
In 1835, in New Orleans, wealthy, married Creole men can buy quadroon women and set them up in second households, where the women, trained in the arts of sexual pleasure, serve as their mistresses. These women, who are one quarter black and three quarters white, are introduced to potential buyers at special Quadroon Balls and are considered valuable property. When New Englander Caleb Wyckliffe arrives in New Orleans, he is naïve about the ways of that society and, soon cheated out of his savings by corrupt and powerful landowner Cesar Dupree, is reduced to earning his living. As a schoolteacher for young quadroons who hope to raise their value at the balls through education, Caleb meets Coral, a quadroon owned by a wealthy Creole, and wants to marry her. Although a sympathetic Creole, Antoine, tries to help the young couple, Caleb fights duels and risks his life for Coral, but ultimately dies.
Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
Other
We do not sell bootlegs. All product arrives from the distributor or is directly from the filmmakers. All items are new and sealed. Some indie titles or signed editions may not have shrinkwrap.
