Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The Lady and the Highwayman, produced by Lew Grade as part of a series of Barbara Cartland dramatizations in 1987, contains all the ingredients that made her unique style of romantic fiction so successful. The highwayman in question, known as Silver Blade, is actually an aristocratic outlaw played by a youthful Hugh Grant in a bouffant mullet wig. The lady is Panthea (Lysette Anthony), delicate but firm of purpose, who knows her man when she sees him. It's Restoration England, so the frocks are fabulous. But Cartland's pretensions to historical accuracy evaporate when she makes Charles II's mistress, Barbara Castlemaine (Dynasty's Emma Samms), the villainess of the piece.
From there, it's a freewheeling ride of Robin Hood-inspired philanthropy, duplicitous cousins, and some uncomfortably fetishistic shots of the rituals and instruments of execution, although everybody is rescued in time for the romantic soft-focus finale. Full of splendidly self-indulgent performances from the likes of Claire Bloom, John Mills, and Michael York, The Lady and the Highwayman is a feast of thespian ham. Somehow, the cast triumph over the banality of the basic material. --Piers Ford

This was a very good film of 17th century Swashbuckling. One thing I found odd, was that my version of it (not the box displayed here) had images from the movie on it-- but on the back, instead of a picture of Michael York playing Charles II in "THe Lady & THe Highwayman", it had a picture of Michael York playing D'Artanan from "The Return of the Musketeers" which was filmed the same year!

I first saw this movie years ago on tv as a teen. I remember my friend thinking Hugh Grant was soooo cute, I remember thinking, is she serious ... "does she need glasses?"
Well Hugh Grant became so popular, but this movie was made prior to this. I love Hugh Grants movies.
I don't think it is meant to be taken seriously. So if you enter, don't expect a literary classic turned movie of the week.
This movie makes me laugh and laugh, it is so cheesy and so 80's. ... Read More

Story line was fair but the color was terrible and fuzzy. Wasn't worth watching or the price no matter how low the cost was.

This is a great movie for the history buffs. It is a movie about court intrigue, plots, jealous courtiers, envy and about love in the court of King Louis IV of France. Hugh Grant plays a Robin Hood of the 18th century and the ever beautiful Emma Samms plays the King's mistress Louise de Valleire.

I bought this DVD b/c i had seen it on t.v before and just love old-fashioned romances esp.starring Hugh Grant. However, i didn't think the quality of pixels were that clear. Overall, still a good movie.
