It actually has a great premise if it were done today---as long as it didn't get mired down in sex, vulgarity and political comment. Barbara Cartland is always a bit over the top anyway, so from that stand point it's kind of fun to see a novel acted out pretty much the way it is written.Also to like, is a quite young and fresh Helena Bonham-Carter who hasn't developed quite into the fantastic talent she would become, but her skills are very evident and promising. The scenery is beautiful and the costumes and sets fitting for a Barbara Cartland novel.A young maiden's obsessed gambler father has lost everything in a night of gambling and desperate to gain it back, he foolishly barters his one and only precious daughter to a ruthless, heartless Lord (one of several in the movie). Thinking "surely" fate couldn't be so unkind as to let him lose yet again, he feels confident he'll win and gain back his money and estate, but alas "lady fate is a cruel master after all". He proceeds to shoot himself after leaving the room and a young handsome Lord Volcom steps in to make his own bet for the young maiden PLUS $800,000. He wins and the rest of the story is woven around the events that transpire as a result of that bet. Wickedness, rumored ghosts (that--surprise!!--- aren't), villains and heroes, and a sword fight. This is definitely a Barbara Cartland novel on film. Enjoy to your heart's wildly romantic imagination! Just as with her boo0ks, let yourself get lost in the damsel in distress, rescued valiantly by the hero on horse back, who will sweep you up and carry you away, chest heaving, heart racing!With this particular dvd copy, the order stated it shipped from Amazon, but usually Amazon comes earlier than what they state, unless it comes from out of the country. I ordered it on 1/28/21 and just received it today, 3/15/21 (that was it), so I don't know what was up with that; it plays just fine. Two split-second freezes, but that was it. It's a bit fuzzy----most looks "old". Obviously not remastered. I've seen black and white's from the 50's that are much clearer. But it's not a blockbuster film, so it's certainly watchable for what it is and after a while I didn't even notice. ### ⭐⭐ poor recording. *by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022* I was disappointed in resolution of images. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Movie was great, to be expected for that time ( year) ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016* Movie was great, to be expected for that time ( year) and since it was based on a Barbara Cartland novel, you can't really judge it too harshly.
