Quiz
Both Margaret Lockwood and Patricia Roc were brought back to Gainsborough to re-shoot some of their scenes with less revealing décolleté versions of their wardrobe (appropriate for the era portrayed). Despite this, La bella avventuriera (1945) was the very first British film to be cut by Hollywood censors due to leading lady Margaret Lockwood's still remaining revealing cleavage. It was a problem Jane Russell also had in "The Outlaw" (1943). TCM sometimes airs the original, uncensored version on its USA cable network. Margaret Lockwood said "We had to do nine days of re-takes to satisfy the censor on that film and it all seemed very foolish." Mason said "I don't like it now," referring to the film after the changes.

Blooper
The wedding scene shows two musicians playing clarinets. The clarinet wasn't invented until 1690. The movie takes place in the 1680s.

Citazioni

A wicked treat

The Wicked Lady is a sumptuous tale of excitement, passion, danger and deceit. Margaret Lockwood plays Barbara Skelton, who engages in treachery almost from the outset by stealing her best friend's man. It becomes clear that she is a ruthless character who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, even engaging in highway robbery to enliven her dull existence. Soon she meets a notorious highwayman, Jerry Jackson, and sparks soon begin to fly between the two outlaws! In order to preserve her secret lifestyle, all manner of wickedness ensues. Margaret Lockwood is fantastic as the selfish, devious protagonist and James Mason smolders as the dashing highwayman. This is a wicked treat not to be missed!
