Episode 042 - The Wicked Lady (1945)
Jun 23, 2019
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.
Join Scott and Steven as they review what turns out to be perhaps the most enjoyable movie reviewed so far on the podcast. The Wicked Lady (1945) starring Margaret Lockwood and James Mason.
In 17th-century England, Barbara Worth (Margaret Lockwood) lives a privileged yet humdrum life as the wife of well-heeled landowner Sir Ralph Skelton (Griffith Jones). To stave off boredom, Barbara begins impersonating famed highway robber Capt. Jerry Jackson, stealing precious jewels and valuables from coach passengers. A chance encounter with the actual Jackson (James Mason) propels Barbara into a dangerous double life with potentially lethal consequences.
