Review of Lady Caroline Lamb (1972) by Keith T — 03 Mar 2015
Lady Caroline Lamb, the politician's wife who made Sally Bercow appear shy and retiring. It was Lady Caroline who during their notorious affair first described Lord Byron as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know", but the phrase might just as well have been applied to her.
Eventually her long suffering husband is advised to set her aside for the sake of his career and goes on to become first Chief Secretary for Ireland, then Home Secretary and eventually Prime Minister, topped off by having an entire antipodean city (Melbourne) named after him.
Rejected by everyone, Lady Caroline dies brokenhearted. A film that now looks quite dated, even for a period drama, but which is worth seeing just for its superb cast.
