Plot Summary

The battle of the sexes and relationships among the elite of Britain's industrial Midlands in the 1920s. Gerald Crich and Rupert Berkin are best friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters Gudrun, a sculptress and Ursula Brangwen, a schoolteacher. Rupert marries Ursula, Gerald begins a love affair with Gudrun, and the foursome embarks upon a Swiss honeymoon. But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Rupert and Ursula learn to give themselves to each other. The more withdrawn Gerald cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Gudrun. Written by alfiehitchie

Trivia Oliver Reed and Sir Alan Bates were initially apprehensive about filming the legendary nude wrestling scene, due to insecurity over who might have the larger 'member'. To 'prepare', both consumed a bottle of vodka each, and subsequently realized there was little difference between the two. Filming continued with relative ease. See more »
Goofs Towards the end of the movie, in the garden, someone holds up the front page of "The Yorkshire Echo" The headline says Miner's Riots. It should read Miners' Riots. See more »

Quotes Gerald Crich: And who is "Gudrun"?
Gudrun Brangwen: In a Norse myth, Gudrun was a sinner who murdered her husband.
Gerald Crich: And will you live up to that?
Gudrun Brangwen: Which would you prefer me to live up to, Mr Crich? The sinner or the murderer?
