I enjoyed the film...

From this board, it seems most people panned this movie...I however, did enjoy it.

True, the story was a bit flimsy, but Joan was ravishing in it. Her costumes, wigs, etc. were all top-rate. And a plethora of gorgeous male co-stars certainly contributed, too.

From biographies I've read, Joan didn't really care for this picture and decided never again to take on a 'period' picture. But, I think she was fine as a period heroine with her 'posh' speak. I think the biggest flaw in the picture was the title.

Joan's character wasn't what I would consider a 'hussy' but, perhaps back in that time period, people may have thought so.
