Amazon.co.uk Review
Back in the day when full-frontal nudity and soft-core eroticism were still part of the mainstream release strategy, Lady Chatterley's Lover made the rounds as a higher-toned slab of hubba-hubba. For this opus, Sylvia Kristel, the Dutch-born beauty who had bared all and gained a following in Emmanuelle, teamed up again with that film's director, Just Jaeckin,. Based on the once-scandalous D.H. Lawrence novel (and at least partly adapted by Marc Behm), Lady Chatterley casts Kristel as the wife of a paralyzed nobleman (former Hammer star Shane Briant). He can no longer make love to his sexy missus, and so gives his blessing to the idea of her having an affair--although the reality of the Lady getting it on with the manor's rough-hewn gamekeeper (Nicholas Clay) is not what he had in mind. The result is much closer to a bodice-ripping romance novel than to Lawrence (stick with Ken Russell's Women in Love for Lawrence erotica), and the sex scenes have the customary tropes of crackling fire and dancing in the rain. The sheer dullness of the production might be the price one must pay for getting to the hot parts, of which there are plenty. --Robert Horton

Synopsis
This film adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel stars Sylvia Kristel as Lady Chatterley, a beautiful woman who finds sexual fulfillment outside of her marriage when her husband becomes impotent.

Customer Reviews

Stylish eroticism
Superb production of the classic D.H.Lawrence novel. Sylvia Kristel smoulders in the role, and, as with the Emmanuelle films, she brings a sophisticated class, and sensual intensity to the sexual core of the storyline. Beautiful countryside, a strong cast, rich and lush settings, and burning passion !! The stunning Sylvia Kristel was the perfect choice for the role in this excellent film, which can be enjoyed on many levels.

really not very good at all
Really dated, lazily written, doesn't really share any of the ideas of the novel, it's just based on the same scenario.

However, if you are a 13 year old boy it will probably seem like all your Christmases have come at once.
