Lady Chatterley's Lover

This is the first film of D.H. Lawrence's controversial novel, which premiered in 1955, five years before the uncensored novel even appeared in print in the UK. Danielle Darrieux is Constance Chatterley, faithful wife to her war-wounded paraplegic husband, whose fortune flows from a local coal mine. Everyone but she seems concerned about her loss of sexual fulfillment, and the possibility of her bearing an heir, until she crosses paths with the estate's new gamekeeper, and they launch into an affair that ruptures the tight social fabric around them.
