Introducing Dorothy Dandridge

In 1999, Halle Berry starred in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, a TV movie made for HBO about the life of movie star Dorothy Dandridge.

Dandridge starred in a Tarzan film, Tarzan's Peril, as a jungle queen who's been captured by an enemy tribe.

The movie reenacts a scene from Tarzan's Peril where Berry, as Dandridge, is tied down to the floor of a hut.

She's rescued by Tarzan, who breaks into the tent through the leafy wall.

This a great scene, featuring a barefoot and bound Berry struggling hard against her bonds.

It begins very nicely with a slow pan over her bound body--starting at her feet, and going up to her gagged face. The film itself is pretty good, as well. Brent Spiner, who plays Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, also stars here as her agent.
