This movie screened out of competition at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival. Menahem Golan once said of this: "There was a dispute in Cannes that year. They appointed me as a judge in the festival and then, out of the blue, informed me that they had invited someone else instead of me. I sued them, and to settle it, they agreed to screen The Wicked Lady (1983) in the competition. But it wasn't worth much because the film wasn't good."

Quotes

Jerry Jackson: [about to be hanged] My friends, I don't care whether you're for me or against me. All that matters is that you've come her today in your thousands to give me a grand send off. To you lovely ladies, don't throw your love, your caresses, your tears on villains like me. Save them for a man who's worth it. An honest, faithful man. If you can find one! To the men I'll give a word of warning, never put your faith in a woman. For no matter how much you may think she loves you, like as not she'll betray you in the end! In my short and merry life I've loved many but only once have I ever, ever made the fatal mistake of trusting a woman. That's why I'm here! For believe me friends, only a woman's hand could put a noose around the neck of Jerry Jackson!
