The original s version of this film, starring Margaret Lockwood is a really enjoyable campfest.

This dire remake is one of the worst films I have had the misfortune to see! Being a fan of the original, I was curious to catch this version which was broadcast on satellite last night I had not seen it previously. At times, the poor old lad has trouble getting around the set let alone keeping two women happy. Faye Dunaway is meant to be Ms. Barber's 'friend' whilst actually looking like her mother. Dunaway even then an old broiler with the head stuck out of an aeroplane window pulled-back face look is lusted after by Alan Bates and Oliver Tobias.

Just makes the wearer look like Droopy Dog. This sounds somewhat promising, but the shagging mostly consists of pressy-mouth kissing and is very limp:. Mash thy face against mine, and I shall be powerless to resist thy manliness. Manly, 17th-century chestal pluft! Convenient that we have lots of sheets available for our lakeside shag. John Gielgud plays the randomly Bible-thumping, judgy servant who is suspicious of Barbara.

He buys it, randomly, and then she starts poisoning him. Eventually Caroline grows a spine and moves to London. There, she hooks up with Kit, who feels sorry for her, which leads to tender shagging in front of the fire:.

At some point along the way, Barbara meets the in-laws, during which her fabulous hair disappears in favor of some faux-Gibson Girl do:. You are getting sleepy. You do not notice my Aquanetted s hairstyle. Not terribly sure about that gold net on sister-in-law, but whatever.

Title: The Wicked Lady Summary: A noblewoman begins to lead a dangerous double life in order to alleviate her boredom. Reviewer: DecoMarc - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - February 13, Subject: Margaret Lockwood's Best Performance The British cinema in the s was often characterized by excessive emotional restraint, "Brief Encounter" being a good example.

Although it deals with an adulterous love affair, it does so in such a stiff- upper-lip way as to dissipate the emotional impact which it might otherwise have had. Gainsborough Pictures, however, were a studio which seemed to go to the opposite extreme; their films are frequently notable not for restraint but for full-blooded melodrama.

Margaret Lockwood has been described as the only sex symbol to have been created by the British cinema alone, without any help from Hollywood. The Wicked Lady is probably the film by which she is best remembered today, and she gives a splendid performance here, both seductive and at the same time detestable.

The Wicked Lady was a huge hit in the United Kingdom and it was an even bigger success in America but it ran afoul of the Production Code in Hollywood. Margaret Lockwood delivers a knockout performance here as the evil but irresistible Barbara Skelton. It's all but impossible to watch her sailing through this film, merrily breaking hearts and bodies and bank accounts and not root for her to get away with it.

Just watch her in the scene where she convinces her cousin Caroline to give up the man she's engaged to so that he can marry Barbara instead.

Barbara plays on her cousin's sense of honor until the tearful girl has promised, not just to give up Ralph, but to be Barbara's maid of honor. At this, Barbara's back straightens and her eyes twinkle. I wouldn't be be buried in it.

She devours each scene with such glee you half expect her to be licking her fingers after each take. And she isn't shy about playing up the sexual nature of the character either.

In a scene where Barbara must convince a suspicious old man that she has found religion, Lockwood kneels and looks up at him through her lashes in a way that suggests, not repentance, but bedroom role-play.
