The titled film: "The Decaying Gentlewoman: The Life and Times of Charlotte Sinclair" is a historically accurate biopic about a "kept" woman, ca 1800 England, who finds inspiration to pursue a career as an artist for periodicals of the day after having met a bawdy strumpet, who happens to moonlight as a bare knuckle boxer! It's a peek at women's rights in a repressive era of England and includes a rerun of a boxing match between Jim Belcher, 1800-1805 champion of England and bareknuckle boxer Jack Bartholomew, who lost to Belcher in the first fight he drew!
