    Two sisters are courted by two very different men in the D. H. Lawrence classic Women In Love. Gudren (Glenda Jackson) is pursued by Gerald (Oliver Reed) a tough coal miner, while sister Ursula (Jenny Linden) is wooed by the school inspector Rupert (Alan Bates). One couple enters into the union with timidity but their love endures with time. The other couple engages in a frenzied, lustful flesh feast eventually ending in tragedy. Both couples honeymoon together as love takes it's often rocky course. Hints of homosexuality arise when Gerald and Rupert have a wrestling match in their underwear. The act is implied rather than graphic There are the obligatory nude scenes that many films from this year seem compelled to present. Ken Russell won an Oscar for Best Director while Glenda Jackson won the Best Actress Award for her sublimely subdued performance.

    A film adaptation that actually does justice to the novel, Ken Russell's version of D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love (1969) achieves the requisite visceral power for a story about the vicissitudes of love and lust. With the central quartet flawlessly embodied by Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Jennie Linden, and then-unknown Glenda Jackson, Russell and writer Larry Kramer delve deeply into the emotional nuances and potential fallout from the different efforts to negotiate early 20th century sexual and marital conventions -- an equally timely subject in 1969. The complex passions are given further sensuous life by Russell's soon-to-be-renowned gift for lavish visuals, with Billy Williams' golden cinematography and expressive lighting helping to turn Bates' and Reed's famous nude-wrestling match into an even more erotically charged encounter. Greeted with critical raves, especially for Jackson's vivid performance as neurotic Gudrun, Women in Love became a hit, powering Russell and Jackson to international fame, Oscar nominations, and an Oscar win for Jackson.
