You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ),ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Deleted Scenes, Interactive Menu, Trailer(s),SYNOPSIS: The Motion Picture Production Code was still in effect (albeit weakly) when Sons and Lovers was filmed in 1960, so don't expect a thoroughly frank and faithful adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel. Set in an English mining town, the film focuses on Paul Morel ( Dean Stockwell), the sensitive son of a roughhewn, alcoholic miner (Trevor Howard) and his gentle, repressed wife (Wendy Hiller). Intent on becoming an artist, Paul is not above depending upon the financial kindnesses of the young women of the town. Many of the girls carry a torch for him, but his strong bonds to his mother leave him emotionally sapped. Freddie Francis's evocative, grimy industrial-town cinematography won him an Academy Award. Despite censorial restrictions, this admirably captures the essence of the dour Lawrence original.

Academy award earned by Freddie Francis (Best B&W Cinematography) and Golden Globe by Jack Cardiff (Best Director). A young man is torn between his possessive mother and his well-behaved girl-friend. He'll finally find sexual fullfilment in the arms of a married woman. This film is a very good adaptation of D.H. Lawrence novel, the director and the actors managing perfectly to create a palpable sexual ... Read More

Sons and Lovers is D.H. Lawrence's story of a boy named Paul (Dean Stockwell) who lives in a mining town at the turn of the century. His mother (Wendy Hiller) wants the best for him, despite the animosity between her husband and her favorite son. Paul wants to be an artist, and he gets his chance when a collector offers to take him to London. However, the apron strings are too tight, and Paul loves a local girl named Miriam (Heather Sears).
