Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOliver Reed and Sir Alan Bates were initially apprehensive about filming the legendary nude wrestling scene, due to insecurity over who might have the larger 'member'. To 'prepare', both consumed a bottle of vodka each, and subsequently realized there was little difference between the two. Filming continued with relative ease.
- GoofsTowards the end of the movie, in the garden, someone holds up the front page of "The Yorkshire Echo" The headline says Miner's Riots. It should read Miners' Riots.

Featured review
The model for film adaptation of literature
Film versions of great books are expected to be lesser beings than their inspirations, but Ken Russell's adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's masterpiece refuses to obey any rules. It's smaller than the book, of course, but compensates by working on multiple levels to create a striking density. The gaudy, almost baroque cinematography actually compliments the sincere and subtle performances (even Oliver Reed!) to create a web of cross-references; every moment connects with every other. Kudos especially to the fine cast, not least Eleanor Bron, who forever cemented her cult status here, and is no mean hand with a paperweight, either.
