Margaret Lockwood devours the screen as a tightly wound 17th-century beauty with loose morals, who steals her best friend’s wealthy fiancé on the eve of their wedding. And that’s only the beginning of this piece of pulp from director Leslie Arliss. James Mason costars, and nearly steals the movie, as a highwayman with whom our antiheroine becomes entangled.

Set in the 17th-century.
