Editorial Review:
Set in old England, Hugh Grant ("Four Weddings & A Funeral", "Notting Hill") plays highwayman who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. But during one of his robberies, he falls in love with an aristocratic lady, Emma Samms ("Star Quest", "Delerious"). Now, he is forced to choose between his true love or his true cause. This swash-buckling romantic adventure will have you on the edge of your seat with every swing of Hugh's savage sword.
The Lady & The Highwayman Reviews:
An Hilarious Romp through James II's Court 
2008-02-19 - I recently copied my old VHS copy--recorded when this movie aired on TV back in 1988--over onto DVD and remembered how delightfully hilarious this movie is. It isn't supposed to be hilarious, but it is. This is the first thing I ever saw Hugh Grant in, and it's colored my opinion of him ever since. (Oh, and the description of the movie above is wrong. His character falls in love with the character played by Lisette Anthony, not Emma Samms).
This is melodrama at its best, and since it's based on a novel by the queen of the melodramatic historical romance novels--Barbara Cartland--that is to be expected. But it's worth viewing just to see Hugh Grant at his most awkward in one of his first-ever roles.
The unusable copy 
2008-02-08 - This movie copy was of such poor quality it could not be viewed.
Very blurry and almost no color,You may have it back.
Buy this please!!
2008-01-31 - A very young HG at his worst...but ever so cute and out of sync. Props are hilarious, they look like out of a high school play. But most entertaining when you factor in how good those two (Grant and Samms) are today. I pull it out and play it for fans who want a good laugh. What can I say...everyone needs a DVD like this one for pure enjoyment. I love HG and this is just part of the library.
