Lady Godiva of Coventry
Lady Godiva of Coventry
In eleventh century England, King Edward the Confessor wants Saxon Lord Leofric to marry a despised Norman woman, and has him jailed when he refuses. In jail, he meets Godiva, the Sheriff's sister, and soon they are wed. The times are turbulent and Godiva proves to be a militant bride. Unrest between the Anglo-Saxon populace and the increasingly influential Norman French lead to her famous ride.

"Lady Godiva of Coventry" shines primarily due to Maureen O'Hara's presence. The film attempts to channel the spirit of a '50s swashbuckler but falls short in execution. Scenes lacking O'Hara feel less compelling. Additionally, the famous ride, despite its implications, does not appear to feature nudity.
