Horror icon Christopher Lee, who worked with Jess Franco on several occasions, plays Lord George Jeffreys, the infamous and merciless judge and Lord Chancellor in England torn by strife between the reigning King James II and William of Orange.

Viewing Notes
via Netflix
When an evil judge targets her anti-government beau, a woman tries to save him by surrendering to the judge’s licentious advances. For a film about a revolution and torture and murder and featuring lots of nudity and Christopher Lee as the evil judge, this is sure a plodding, boring and just meh all around film. When Lee is on screen things pick up a bit as his character kind of moves things along, but I just couldn’t get into it and this was almost putting me to sleep. Too bad.
