Additional InformationD.H. Lawrence's 1920 novel revolving around the torrid relationships between two sisters and the men in their lives is here well-adapted for the big screen by Ken Russell. Starring Jennie Linden as Ursula and Glenda Jackson in a galvanizing, Academy Award-winning performance as Gudrun. This is nearly overshadowed by the ambiguously sensuous nude wrestling scene between their philandering suitors (Bates and Reed).

  • Classic British film from Ken Russell

    Boasting great all-round performances from its stellar cast plus Ken Russell's assured and evocative direction, Women in Love is probably one of the finest British films of its era. With a great sense of period and stunning visuals, plus the emotional heft of the characters involved, the film conveys all the nuances of Lawrence's book and more. The much celebrated naked wrestling scene between Oliver Reed and Alan Bates is understandably a highlight, shot as it is with subtle lighting and restraint, but it is the final, heartbreaking ending, with Reed's character trudging through miles of endless snow to meet his demise that best conveys what the film is all about: pure emotion, both repressed and to the fore that tip the balance of the characters involved. Alongside The Devils, this is Russell's finest achievement and justly contains Oliver Reed's most celebrated role. A winner all the way.

  • One of the Best Movies of the 20th Century

    Ken Russell's marvellous movie remains a classic of the cinema. The characterisations by Oliver Reed and Alan Bates of the main male protagonists are ably supported by the rest of this wonderful cast. Never has there been such a wonderful adaption of D.H Lawrence's classic book - nor is there likely to be! This will remain one of the greatest of British movies.
