Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
D.H. Lawrence's 1912 story was considered too emotionally raw for contemporary audiences; this 1972 adaptation arrived during British cinema's kitchen-sink realist wave.
Alan Bates filmed his role between shooting 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg' and 'The Go-Between,' making this a hidden gem in his annus mirabilis of repressed English suffering.
