Summary

In "The Infamous Lady," we're thrust into a genuinely wild legal drama. A respected King's Counsel, a man of law, finds himself in an impossible bind after he kills a blackmailing woman. The real kicker? He then takes on the defense of the man who is wrongly accused of his own crime. It’s a morally complex and rather audacious premise for a film of its time, making for a tense, if understated, watch.
