However, the biographical scenes are wonderfully rendered and lead seamlessly into PRIEST OF LOVE (1981) where the matured DH and Frieda Lawrence are Ian McKellen and Janet Suzman. Listening to Kenneth Branagh read DHL’s verse here is Pure Gold. Thanks for this post, Jon.

Someday I hope that the Alan Plater scripted PRIEST OF LOVE is wrested from Christopher Miles and fully restored to its original, superior 123 minute splendor. It is a companion to this and completes DHL’s life story (The present Director’s Cut DVD of it is a sanitized, truncated mess)
