Before director Ken Russell's name became synonymous with cinematic extravagance and overkill, he actually directed what is one of the most passionate and involving adaptations of D.H. Lawrence in recent memory. Oliver Reed and Alan Bates star as friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters (Jennie Linden and Glenda Jackson, who won an Oscar for the role). But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Bates and Linden learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Reed cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Jackson. Shot with great sensuality, it was surprisingly frank for its period (1970) and includes one of the most charged scenes in movie history: Bates and Reed as manly men, wrestling nude by firelight. <i>--Marshall Fine</i>
Viewer Reviews
I think it is a love story between the two men and the women were just incidental.
The women had magnificent breasts, can't say the same about the men's equipment - of course, poles were half-mast. But Bates is really gorgeous. Also, I think Jeanie should have had the Oscar instead of Glenda. Interesting!!
Smudge Trio: First of all I am not a girl. And I don't know what you mean by me being a "pre-pubescent girl". You not only got the sex wrong but you sound like one of these sex-predators that lurk around chat-rooms looking for an easy prey. Fat Foreigners are getting caught almost everyday in India trying to buy sex from rag-pickers. Again, that is your level. Do we have to reckon with a pedophile now?
