The Wicked Lady was a 1945 film starring Margaret Lockwood in the title role as a nobleman's wife who turns to highway robbery for enjoyment and to repay gambling debts. James Mason played her lover, Captain Jerry Jackson, with Griffith Jones as her husband, local magistrate Sir Ralph Skelton.
The story was based upon the (disputed) events surrounding the life of Katherine Ferrers, the wife of the major landowner in Markyate on the main London - Birmingham road.
The film was made at Gainsborough Studios in London.
It was loosely remade by Michael Winner in 1983 starring Faye Dunaway and Alan Bates, but failed at the box office. The remake gained some latter-day notoriety thanks to the fact that it includes a brief nude scene by actress Marina Sirtis who later became famous as one of the stars of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
