Programmer's Pick

This is what happens when you mix classic legend, bawdy sexploitation, and the wild West: expect more bare skin than barroom brawls. Stephen C. Apostolof lets Lady Godiva trade her horse for a stagecoach—and her modesty for some gleeful anarchy.

Overview

When Lady Godiva is caught in a compromising position with her lover Tom Jones by her husband Lord Brotherton, a disastrous confrontation forces her to flee England. Condemned for adultery and attempted murder, she seduces her way out of prison and escapes with Tom to America, stowing away on a ship transporting English maidens. The voyage, overseen by a cunning London madam, quickly descends into chaos as the young women realize their supposed path to matrimony leads instead to a saloon in a rough-and-tumble Gold Rush town. With seductive schemes, mistaken identities, and a hint of slapstick, Lady Godiva’s adventure promises cheeky humor and plenty of risqué surprises.
