Such is not the case, and the Lawrences travel first to Mexico, and then to Italy while David attempts to complete and then publish his best known (and most controversial) work, Lady Chatterley's Lover.

Muskett and Ava Gardner as Mabel Dodge Luhan.

4.0 out of 5 stars movieman - New Zealand, October 30, 2005

Top cast, acting and locales for this story about controversial author and artist D.H. Lawrence. Original screen version has been edited from 125 minutes to 94 minutes which appears to affect the films continuity somewhat at times - otherwise, this is an absorbing story with a good DVD transfer and 5.1 Dolby sound.
