Old S 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Weak tripe that would probably never see the light of day again if not for Hugh Grant's participation very early in his career. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting, even exciting film, a good cast and a good storyline. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant film, totally loved it and saw the romance comming before it happened. Hugh Grant was great with his role.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
