The Wicked Lady is a 1983 British drama film directed by Michael Winner. It was screened out of competition at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.[3] It is a remake of the 1945 film of the same name, which was one of the popular series of Gainsborough melodramas.

Plot

Caroline is to be wed to Sir Ralph and invites her sister Barbara to be her bridesmaid. Barbara seduces Ralph, and marries him herself, but, despite her new wealthy situation, she gets bored and turns to highway robbery for thrills.

While on the road she meets a famous highwayman, Jerry Jackson, and they continue as a team, but some people begin suspecting her identity and she risks death if she continues her nefarious activities.

Production

Michael Winner bought the rights off the Rank Organisation and took the film to Faye Dunaway. She agreed to star. Winner then raised finance from the Cannon Group.[6]

"This is the only film I've ever enjoyed making," said Dunaway on set. "Everything I've done in the past has been so full of anguish."[6]

The actor Mark Burns appeared in The Wicked Lady as King Charles II, but during the filming director Michael Winner could not afford to pay him even the Equity union minimum fee. Burns told him to make a donation to the Police Memorial Trust, which was run by Winner. Years later, when Burns appeared at a magistrate's court on a charge of speeding, Winner, appearing as a character witness, told the bench that the actor had given "his entire fee" for a major film to the fund and Burns was subsequently discharged.[7]

The film received a Razzie Award nomination for Faye Dunaway as Worst Actress.[8]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack for the film was composed by Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks.
