Movie Reviews of The Lady & The Highwayman
Movie Review: An Hilarious Romp through James II's Court
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently copied my old VHS copy--recorded when this movie aired on TV back in 1988--over onto DVD and remembered how delightfully hilarious this movie is. It isn't supposed to be hilarious, but it is. This is the first thing I ever saw Hugh Grant in, and it's colored my opinion of him ever since. (Oh, and the description of the movie above is wrong. His character falls in love with the character played by Lisette Anthony, not Emma Samms).
This is melodrama at its best, and since it's based on a novel by the queen of the melodramatic historical romance novels--Barbara Cartland--that is to be expected. But it's worth viewing just to see Hugh Grant at his most awkward in one of his first-ever roles.
Summary of The Lady & The Highwayman
Set in old England, Hugh Grant ("Four Weddings & A Funeral", "Notting Hill") plays highwayman who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. But during one of his robberies, he falls in love with an aristocratic lady, Emma Samms ("Star Quest", "Delerious"). Now, he is forced to choose between his true love or his true cause. This swash-buckling romantic adventure will have you on the edge of your seat with every swing of Hugh's savage sword.Similar DVD Movies
