Couldn't bear how this film absolutely slaughters the beautiful work by D.H. Lawrence. No mention of Michaelis, neither a trip to Venice, nor the beautiful letter Mellors writes signing off with "John Thomas says goodnight to Lady Jane, rather droopily, but with a hopeful heart" that he wrote on the farm, hanging the suspense in the air of whether the lovers will be reunited considering the problems they have run into due to Mellor's wife and Cliffords refusal to marry.
Agh, I'm ranting here. Long story short, if I could I would never have watched this film knowing how it brutally kills the works of Lawrence with little regard. Some scenes, however few, were accurately depicted as described in the book.
