Nous sommes en Angleterre du XIe siècle. Le roi Édouard le Confesseur veut que le seigneur saxon Leofric, qui règne sur Coventry, épouse une Normande, Yolanda. Lorsqu’il refuse, il est condamné à la prison, où il rencontre Godiva, la sœur du shérif. Les deux tombent amoureux et bientôt, se marient. Mais les temps sont troubles et Godiva se révèle une épouse militante. Accusée d’adultère devant le roi, elle accepte d’être punie selon une loi ancienne et de chevaucher nue pour montrer l’union du peuple saxon face à la domination normande.

It feels rushed, but I kinda do like 'Lady Godiva of Coventry'. The film, in my opinion, is at its best with Maureen O'Hara and George Nader alongside the trio of would-be prisoners, spearheaded by Victor McLaglen. The stuff with that quintet was really enjoyable to me; the main story isn't even to do with them. The plot of this 1955 involves the characters of O'Hara and Nader, but with Leslie Bradley & Co. Those parts of the film aren't the strongest and don't really leave a sizeable imprint. I would've preferred a production with those other five more, to be honest. It's all still watchable though. There's a couple of neat shots scattered in there, also. I managed to spot Clint Eastwood in his uncredited minor role. Much bigger things to come for that man, I reckon...
