The Greek legend of Orpheus has captured the imaginations of many creative artists over the centuries. In this recording, Christoph Willibald Gluck transforms the original Italian opera into a refined French version. Magdalena Kozena brings expressiveness, exceptional virtuosity and a rare emotion to the role of Orphee. Madeline Bender as Eurydice is possessed of a touching grace and beauty while Patricia Petibon is deliciously mischievous as Amour. John Eliot Gardiner conducts this production staged by avant director Robert Wilson (Einstein on the Beach).

The Lady and the Highwayman, produced by Lew Grade as part of a series of Barbara Cartland dramatizations in 1987, contains all the ingredients that made her unique style of romantic fiction so successful. The highwayman in question, known as Silver Blade, is actually an aristocratic outlaw played by a youthful Hugh Grant in a bouffant mullet wig. The lady is Panthea (Lysette Anthony), delicate but firm of purpose, who knows her man when she sees him. It's Restoration England, so the frocks are fabulous. But Cartland's pretensions to historical accuracy evaporate when she makes Charles II's mistress, Barbara Castlemaine (Dynasty's Emma Samms), the villainess of the piece.
From there, it's a freewheeling ride of Robin Hood-inspired philanthropy, duplicitous cousins, and some uncomfortably fetishistic shots of the rituals and instruments of execution, although everybody is rescued in time for the romantic soft-focus finale. Full of splendidly self-indulgent performances from the likes of Claire Bloom, John Mills, and Michael York, The Lady and the Highwayman is a feast of thespian ham. Somehow, the cast triumph over the banality of the basic material. --Piers Ford
You should see it, make no mistake this is a definite blockbuster!
Wow! I really loved the movie The Lady and the Highwayman. The movie is absolutely stunning with top-notch graphics and visuals while Emma Samms deliver some award-winning performances in this movie.
I also think Oliver Reed was great! The visuals and graphics make for some very realistic on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.
I think Emma Samms and Oliver Reed worked wonderful in The Lady and the Highwayman. The great supporting cast includes Emma Samms, Oliver Reed, Claire Bloom, Christopher Cazenove, Lysette Anthony.
