bodice-ripping Barbara Cartland adventure
Filmed for British cable in the early 90's, this was one in a series of four movies based on the romantic period novels of Dame Barbara Cartland. Set during the reign of King Charles II, THE LADY AND THE HIGHWAYMAN is the tale of a love affair between notorious criminal Silver Blade (Hugh Grant) and Lady Panthea Vyne (Lysette Anthony). When the king's jealous mistress Barbara Castlemaine (Emma Samms) discovers the romance, she decides to send them both to the gallows. Swashbuckling adventure and breathless romance abound in this enjoyable tale. The cast also includes Oliver Reed, Gordon Jackson, Sir John Mills, Claire Bloom, Christopher Cazenove and Michael York.

True Romance!
The Lady and the Highwayman is the movie that introduced Hugh Grant to me. I know he was in other stuff before, but this was where I saw him the first time. I absolutely fell in love with him. This movie is one of those swashbuckling kind of stories about a rich man (Hugh Grant) who falls in love with a rich woman; and there's a mean, selfish woman (Emma Samms), as well as Oliver Cromwell (Oliver Reed) trying to break up the two young lovers, as well as kill the young rich woman. Oh, what a tangled web is weaved! Anyway, it's one of those "happily ever after" scenarios and I highly recommend it for all those who love a good love story, as well as those who love Hugh Grant.
