Back
in 1945, The Wicked Lady
caused quite a stir, what with Margaret
Lockwood's Lady Skelton stealing husbands, poisoning
aged retainers and moonlighting as a highway robber.
Her recklessly plunging necklines meant scenes having
to be reshot for the trembling innocents of the USA.
The 80s remake, futher sexed up with bare breasts and
whip fights, just has to be the work of Michael
Winner.
ëMaryiot Cellsí, home of Lady Skelton (now embodies
by Faye Dunaway)
is now a conflation of two houses: the turretted and
gabled home of Lord Northampton,
Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire,
an ancient house rebuilt in the 16th century (previously
seen as the estate in Disneyís 1977 comedy Candleshoe,
with a young Jodie
Foster); and the Elizabethan mansion, North
Mymms Park, Tollgate Road, a private house
between Colney Heath and Welham Green in Hertfordshire.
The park is occasionally open to the public.
The ëTyburní hanging scenes used the moors outside Sheffield
in Yorkshire.
The ëDukeís Theatreí, where Lady Skelton meets Charles
II, is the Painted Hall
of the Royal Naval College,
Greenwich, London, seen in The
Madness of King George.
