Though this might not entirely be seasonal appropriate, it is a bit of a miracle that this turned out to not be a waste of time. Ostensibly a saucier remake of an old film about that titular wicked lady who revels in sin which slowly kills herself and those around her, there is a bit more to this picture than you might first think despite the attempt at a comical poster and image. This isn't really a sex comedy despite the image and the typical 1980s obsession with random breasts to pull people into the theaters and video store.
That said, 1983's The Wicked Lady does suffer from tonal issues and its more blue elements don't really stand the test of time in helping it as a film experience. Despite that, there is a core story that is quite good and the typical Cannon madness does help it stand out. For that reason it becomes a recommendation to the both of us.
As always, check out today's episode to understand why that might be.
