THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER (1939) Nina Mae McKinney & Jack Carter | Drama, Horror, Black Cinema | B&W
The Devil's Daughter, also known as Pocomania, is a 1939 American film directed by Arthur H. Leonard.
SYNOPSIS
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jamaica, Sylvia Walton, portrayed by Ida James, returns from Harlem to claim ownership of a banana plantation inherited from her late father, much to the chagrin of her embittered half-sister, Isabelle, played by Nina Mae McKinney. As Sylvia grapples with the challenges of managing the plantation, tensions rise amidst the rhythmic beats of distant drums.
The film opens with a lively scene featuring a group performance followed by a cockfight, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. Alongside Sylvia's endeavors, the narrative follows her interactions with two competing suitors and her comedic sidekick, Percy. Yet, amidst their personal conflicts, the persistent sound of drums looms ominously, hinting at deeper mysteries awaiting discovery.
