In order to escape her... 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.

It's all so delightfully over-the-top that it could only be disliked by persons approaching it as a serious drama.
