Summary: not even worth buy from the discount bin
Review: ...Alas, the print quality is terribly bad. It looks like it was made from a video tape that's been copied over and over and over - dark, fuzzy, flattened colors. So, I couldn't even appreciate the lovely costumes and settings.The story is so badly predictable and corny, the dialog is stilted, and the editing is terribly choppy. It's silly. It's boring. Not even a terrific cast (Hugh Grant, Oliver Reed, Michael York to name a few) could lift this one out of the doldrums. Pass on this one.

Summary: Great swashbuckler film with a great cast!
Review: A great movie adapted from the novel by Barbara Cartland starring Hugh Grant, Lysette Anthony, Emma Samms, Claire Bloom, Oliver Reed, Michael York... the list goes on. The story of a highwayman (Grant) who saves a damsel in distress (Anthony) in 17th century England. Lavish costumes, good sword play, and an intriguing story. One of my favorites, even if it is from the 80s. This is one of Grant's earlier films, before coming to Hollywood.

Summary: Pretty to look at but not much else.
Review: A romance set in 17th century England should be irresistable to me; especially one with such gorgeous costumes and scenery as this. However, this movie not only suffers from an insipid, silly storyline but from bad dialog as well. All you have to do is watch the very first scene of the movie for a shining example of truly awful dialog. I read Barbara Cartland novels when I was in my early to mid-teens and the story reminds me of some of the romantic tales my gal pal and I would cook up just for fun. Even so, I will give the movie two stars for its beautiful and mostly accurate costumes, especially the women's. It is also nice but rather surprising to see revered veteran actors like John Mills, Robert Morley and Gordon Jackson playing smaller roles in the movie. Unfortunately the video tape quality is awful and was almost unwatchable in the beginning. Luckily the tape was a gift and I didn't spend a dime on it!

Summary: Wonderful movie
Review: A wonderful movie filled with romance, action, adventure and of caurse love! A great film by the Lady Barbara Cartland, Princess Diana's Grandmother though marrige in the family ( not blood related) Lady Cartland is the Queen of Love and romantic writing. A fantistic film with everyone`s favority Hugh Grant!

Summary: Terrible!
Review: Despite the fact that the cast includes Hugh Grant, this movie is a waste of time. Historical inaccuracy abounds - how many 17th century woman wore pounds of make-up and had such vividly died hair?
Rating:
Summary: Great way to spend a quite afternoon
Review: Hugh Grant has gotten better at his craft,but if your looking for the good guy wins and gets the girl this is a nice movie. worth the price of under $10.00.

Summary: loved every minute of it
Review: I bought the lady and the highwayman 2 weeks ago because I liked the sound of it. I have watched it approximately 6 times since. I love the ending. But there was 1 thing that I think was missing. What happened after the king came to their rescue? Did they (Panthia and Lucius) tell him what had been happening or did he just know his friend. I would also like to know if anyone knows which Cartland book this was from. I would like to get it and read it.

Summary: What a waste of talent
Review: I could not believe that with such a great cast list I could be so totally bored! There is not a single rectifying statement I can make about this film. Oliver Reed, Michael York and John Mills - acting greats, all - are totally wasted in this venture into Cartland insipidity. The dialogue and "action" are filled with cliches, and there could not be a flatter relationship than that between Grant and Anthony - not one spark! Don't waste your time and money.
