Editorial Review:
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 Bates and Linden learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Reed cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Jackson.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
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.

Rating:  - Russell Does Lawrence Proud
This early Ken Russell film is certainly one of his top efforts. Stunning performances! Glenda Jackson won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Gudrun. As true to the Lawrence novel as it is possible to be on film. Not a silly, happily-ever-after lightweight, this is also D H Lawrence at his best. A MUST-HAVE for all fans of Ken Russell and D H Lawrence.
Rating: - Women In Love - DVD
A most superb and touching period piece which unfolds the struggle of 4 adults - 2 couples - to come to grips, literatlly, with their sexuality including the homoerotic yearning of one of the males.
Rating: - Women in Love
This intelligent, passionate adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel by British director Russell fuses romantic classicism with frank talk, as the frolicking foursome openly discuss their philosophies of love and desire, friendship and commitment. Reed and then-unknown actress Glenda Jackson are especially compelling as the couple whose marital life is corrupted by her frivolous affair with a bisexual painter in Switzerland. Russell has an eye for the extravagant, like the nude fireside wrestling match ... Read More
