Filled with silly twists and overwrought melodrama, it has a distinctive sensibility, two charismatic anti-heroes who invest their roles with personality and energy, and a stylized, unreal flamboyance that keeps them lively.

Producers claim that this story is 'set in the days of Charles II'. Sets, costumes and a comely bunch of femmes bear out the claim. But the period atmosphere is not convincing.

...Dunaway performs her dominating role with satisfying conviction...
Variety
Amid the romantic highwaymen, secret passages and poisoned elderberry wine, the bogus sentiments expressed by the actors are a perfect match for the bogus look of their hair pieces.

TIME Magazine
Former critic and screenwriter Arliss [is] the unfortunate director having to contend with the recalcitrant mechanics of Lime Grove studio ruralism.

Time Out
With excellent photography from Jack Cox, lavish costuming and rich settings, this becomes a novelette on high-quality art paper. Nobody, surely, is expected to believe in its naive manner of narrative.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
This lushly costumed drama is surprisingly boring, but Mason stands out with his swagger and gusto while the rest of the cast members are sadly unconvincing.

Product Description:
Faye Dunaway stars as Lady Barbara Skelton, a beautiful English 17th Century socialite who finds her life extremely dull in spite of marrying a rich man (Denholm Elliot). In order to escape her banal existence, Barbara begins an affair with a miscreant criminal, Jackson (Alan Bates), and together they enter into a life of crime (specifically, highway robbery). As Barbara masquerades as a robber by day, she must uphold her duties in the social hierarchy by night.
A remake of the 1945 classic, WICKED LADY is a bold foray into deviance. Dunaway looks delectable in her 17th Century wardrobe. Director Michael has even gone so far to include an erotic whipping scene between Dunaway and Marina Sirtis of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.
