THE WICKED LADY (1945)

LESLIE ARLISS

Plot

Barbara is the lady in question, a woman driven by the constant desire for excitment and unfettered by any moral conscience. Barabara has quickly become bored of her aristocratic marriage and decides upon highway robbery as a ripping way to spice life up; a nocturnal activity which brings her into contact with dashing highway man, Captain Jackson. Barabara's unscrupulous deeds are eventually uncovered but this is not a woman to be triffled with, and muder is well within her abilities. The Wicked Lady is a classic bodice ripping swashbuckler, a dark and devious tale with the peerless James Mason.
