Old S 11/13/2024 Barbara Cartland points you in the direction of the plot. Even Hugh Grant hmself panned this film, but he needed to start SOMEWHERE. Surprised to see the cast with Michael York (worst mustache!), Oliver Reed, Emma Samms (a creme puff of a baddie) and other noteables trying to take this seriously. Weak script, dismal lighting, even the horsemen couldn't sit their mounts with finesse, something they would have been skiled at for sure in the cavalry, Hugh is wooden and not yet the hearthrob, almost shy with the lady, certainly didn't sweep her off her feet, but it's fun to see him in his early role. Could have been much better, but not every film is Oscar-worthy. See more 01/06/2016 Weak tripe that would probably never see the light of day again if not for Hugh Grant's participation very early in his career. See more 04/10/2012 An interesting, even exciting film, a good cast and a good storyline. See more 02/27/2012 Brilliant film, totally loved it and saw the romance comming before it happened. Hugh Grant was great with his role. See more 08/27/2010 Brilliant film, totally loved it and saw the romance comming before it happened. Hugh Grant was great with his role. See more 04/28/2010 I don't care if I AM the only one alive who can sit through this...I happen to enjoy it. Hugh Grant with a sword, imagine it! And the storyline is so cute.
