SONS AND LOVERS (DVD) DVD

The first experiences of a young man in the mysteries of a woman!

One of legendary cinematographer Jack Cardiff's (Black Narcissus, The African Queen) finest films as director, winning one Oscar and garnering a further six nominations, Sons and Lovers is an evocative and much praised adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's acclaimed novel.

Set in a Northern industrial town, Sons and Lovers is the story of handsome and sensitive Paul Morel (Dean Stockwell, Paris, Texas, Blue Velvet). Paul is the son of a rough-hewn, hard-drinking coal miner (Trevor Howard, Brief Encounter, The Third Man) and his gentle, repressed wife, Gertrude (Wendy Hiller, A Man for All Seasons). With his good looks and aspirations to become an artist, Paul soon attracts the amorous attentions of numerous local women, but the stifling bonds between mother and son seemingly leave little room for romantic fulfilment.
