The Wicked Lady (1945)
Director: Leslie Arliss
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Post-war uplift becomes almost exclusively a matter of Ms Lockwood's cleavage in this period melodrama from Gainsborough that caused a censorious and highly profitable controversy in a teacup for its quaint bawdiness. Lockwood is the amoral aristo thrill-seeker who takes to highway robbery alongside Mason; former critic and screenwriter Arliss the unfortunate director having to contend with the recalcitrant mechanics of Lime Grove studio ruralism.Author: PT
