Lady Chatterley's Lover (DVD)

D.H. Lawrence's classic novel of eroticism is stunningly captured on screen by director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Histoire d'O) and features a sultry and electrifying performance by Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle, Private Lessons). When Sir Clifford Chatterley (Shane Briant, the Picture of Dorian Gray) returns home with a crippling injury sustained in the war that leaves him impotent, the strain is unbearable for his beautiful bride Constance, the Lady Chatterley. Knowing that he may never fulfill his wife's needs, Sir Chatterley grants permission for Lady Chatterley to take a lover. But that lover must be from the upper class of society. This arrangement is soon challenged when Lady Chatterley meets Oliver (Nicholas Clay Excalibur, Evil Under the Sun), a handsome and virile gamekeeper.
