Comment/Synopsis

In medieval Coventry Lady Godiva rides through the city naked on a horse to reduce the taxes imposed by her husband. One of the earliest film versions of this story. It has some typical silent film over acting but otherwise tells the story of Lady Godiva, Peeping Tom and has her riding the horse.
