The Lady and the Bandit

That's about all I can say. It was an okay film, entertaining and not badly acted, but in a lowkey kind of way. I can't say I was all that impressed with either the lady or the bandit, but since it was based on the life of an actual highwayman, Dick Turpin, I thought I'd check it out.

Louis Hayward (any relation to Susan?) was okay as Turpin, and Patricia Medina was okay as Joyce, the woman he loves and marries, and wants to lead a better life with, but fate is against them. I think the best performance was by Suzanne Dalbert, as Cecile, Turpin's wannabee partner in crime, and whom he had more chemistry with than his "true love".

I understand this movie was based on a poem about the legendary highwayman. I'm going to check it out and see how it compares.
