Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Before director Ken Russell's name became synonymous with cinematic extravagance and overkill, he actually directed what is one of the most passionate and involving adaptations of D.H. Lawrence in recent memory. Oliver Reed and Alan Bates star as friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters (Jennie Linden and Glenda Jackson, who won an Oscar for the role). But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Bates and Linden learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Reed cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Jackson. Shot with great sensuality, it was surprisingly frank for its period (1970) and includes one of the most charged scenes in movie history: Bates and Reed as manly men, wrestling nude by firelight. --Marshall Fine
Description:
This compelling rendition of the literary masterpiece is a visual stunner and very likely the mostsensuous film ever made (N.Y. Daily News). Glenda Jackson garnered the first of her two Oscars®* for her superb performance in director Ken Russell and writer Larry Kramer's brilliant exploration of the complexities of sexuality and romantic love. Growing up in the sheltered society of 1920s England, Gudrun (Jackson) and Ursula (Jennie Linden) know little about the ways of love. So when they pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with a notorious playboy (Alan Bates) and abrooding philanderer (Oliver Reed), what they discover about their lovers, and themselves, may be more all-consumingand dangerously volatilethan they ever dared imagine.

Very seldom has a movie been such a faithful adaptation from the book it was based on. That is the case of WOMEN IN LOVE,a wonderful and perfect movie with settings, performances, and plot that are worth seeing. As far as its plot is concerned, WOMEN IN LOVE is a philosophical experiment on what love actually is and on the role it plays in human life. Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen,marvelously played by Glenda Jackson and Jeannie Linden,are the two sisters who go by the several phases love can show itself, ... Read More

Ken Russell's film output was intensely controversial in his heyday, some of his work winning wide acclaim and some almost universal scorn and condemnation. "Women in Love," one of his earliest full-length, big-budget features, stands out today as one of his best, an intelligent, good-looking and well-acted adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's sprawling novel about sexual and emotional relationships between men and women, and men and men, in 1920s England, personified by the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula ... Read More

Oliver Reed and Alan Bates brilliant and Glenda Jackson superb.
I am glad I purchased this memorable movie.

I think it is a love story between the two men and the women were just incidental.
The women had magnificent breasts, can't say the same about the men's equipment - of course, poles were half-mast. But Bates is really gorgeous. Also, I think Jeanie should have had the Oscar instead of Glenda. Interesting!!
Smudge Trio: First of all I am not a girl. And I don't know what you mean by me being a "pre-pubescent girl". You not only got the sex wrong but you sound like one of these sex-predators ... Read More

The performances are first rate: Glenda Jackson certainly deserved her Oscar, Alan Bates is always wonderful and Oliver Reed captures your heart by his very presence. The story is filled with the personal obsessions that drove Lawrence--finding some sort of truth in physical passion being the most obvious one. This film adaptation is hardly subtle--driving the same ideas home again and again---starting with the lesson of the parts of the flower in the opening schoolroom scene. Then there's the famous picnic ... Read More
