VHS Movie Reviews of Lady Godiva [VHS]

Movie Review: Maureen O'Hara rides to glory in lush historical romp
Summary: 3 Stars

Yes, this is meant to be a "faithful" historical account of the events leading to Lady Godiva's naked horse-ride through the streets of Coventry, but, strange enough, it seems to more closely resemble a broad comedy remake of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew". Maureen O'Hara, the undisputed Queen of Technicolor, rides to glory in the title role of LADY GODIVA OF COVENTRY (1955); with George Nader as her husband, Lord Leofric, the Earl of Mercia.

Betrothed to a Norman noblewoman, Lord Leofric (Nader) decides he'd rather be thrown in jail than get married to her, where he meets the sheriff's lovely sister Godiva (O'Hara). Beautiful, strong and with a firm social conscience, Godiva soon becomes his wife, yet their union is tested by the machinations of corrupt Count Eustace (Leslie Bradley), who secretly plots to otherthrow the Saxon monarchy with his Norman soldiers. In a last-ditch bid to prove the loyalty of the Saxons, Godiva rides naked through the Coventry township, her long, flaming-red hair the only thing concealing her modesty...

Maureen O'Hara saves the day with a spirited performance. Universal loved putting O'Hara in these lush period adventures and she does suit the era of the story incredibly well. George Nader is also solid as Leofric. Look closely for Clint Eastwood in a small role as the "First Saxon".

Movie Review: Lady Godiva Rules!! Please Put On DVD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Maureen Hara stars as Lady Godiva,the famous wife of an 11th century English Lord.Also,watch for an early Clint Eastwood appearance.Lady Godiva rules!!
