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.
