The once-notorious D. H. Lawrence novel Lady Chatterly's Lover seemed like kid stuff by the time this 1981 adaptation hit the screens. To pep up Lawrence's tale of an aristocratic woman who conducts a... read more read more...n affair with her earthy gamekeeper, soft-core porn specialist Just Jaeckin attempted to convert the material into Emmanuelle Goes to England. To this end, Jaeckin utilized the undraped talents of his Emmanuelle star Sylvia Kristel, who behaves more like a saloon hall gal than the mistress of an 18th-century manor. Lady Sylvia--er, Lady Chatterly--can't get no satisfaction from her paralyzed spouse, so she dallies with low-born Nicholas Clay. As in most other Just Jaeckin films, the production values and photography are exquisite, the dialogue and acting less so. An earlier, more sedate version of Lady Chatterly's Lover was filmed in France in 1959, with Danielle Darrieux and Erno Crisa in the leads. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Good, beautifully love story and an erotic masterpiece with Emmanuelle sex goddess Sylvia Kristel.

    For a movie that's 105 minutes long, there isn't much going on. The movie could have been half as long and told the same story. It is a very romantic story, but her husband was a really strange guy, I wouldn't want to be with him either. Overall, an average romantic drama, wit... read moreh maybe a little more explicit sex than other 80s movies, but nothing spectacular.
