Beckinsale is a hoot to watch as a character with no redeemable qualities, except for her cunning ability to get what she wants. You can’t help but love Lady Susan because of the evident joy she takes in being so duplicitous.

In 18th century England, a beautiful and cunning young widow named Lady Susan Vernon seeks refuge from scandalous rumors in the countryside estate of her in-laws.
