[net.movies] "The Wicked Lady"

gary@arizona.UUCP (Gary Marc Levin) (11/08/83)

This was a real disappointment.  I was expecting either a "Tom
Jones"-like romp or a parody of same.  With the cast of Faye Dunaway,
John Gielgud, and Alan Bates, I did not expect this disaster.

The camera work was good, with lovely scenery.  The costuming was also
very good.  The plot was nil and the violence gratuitous.

The theater was fairly full (dollar night) and the re-actions tended
toward:  "Well, we only paid a dollar." My favorite comment was my
wife's:  "And I could have stayed home and done my probability
homework!"
