DON`T MISS THIS ONE
This is one of those movies that for some reason did not achieve notable success : why not is a mystery. The story line involves a down and out member of the gentry and a second man of the lower classes who is also broke, both of whom are sent to debtor`s prison in 18th century England. Through rather interesting turns of events, they stumble on a fortune while in prison, are released and re-establish themselves as upstanding members of upper crust society in need of a prodigious income to support their lifestyle. Of course they become the most notorious highway robbers in all of England by holding up mostly wealthy nobility as they travel about in carriages at night. This movie has a great cast of wildly diverse characters and is replete with both subtle and not so subtle humor. It really is very good entertainment----give it a try, you`ll be pleased, entertained and amused.
