Whity (1971)
'Whity' is de mulatbutler van de disfunctionele Nicholson-familie in het Amerikaanse zuidwesten in 1878. De vader, Ben Nicholson, heeft een aantrekkelijke jonge vrouw Katherine en twee zoons uit een eerder huwelijk; de homoseksuele Frank en de achterlijke Davy. Whity probeert al hun bevelen uit te voeren, hoe vernederend ook, totdat verschillende familieleden hem vragen enkele anderen te vermoorden.
