Dean Stockwell was really good in this his accent was also good

This was famously parodied on Monty Python, where the FATHER was the artist and the SON the miner! “Hampstead wasn’t good enough for ya! Ya hadda go poncing off ta BARNSLEY!”

Totally agree with Gregory — a most respectable and very interesting take on Lawrence; little known today and much disparaged by them as knows it. But the actimg and cinematography are first rate. Again, thanks Jon!

Oh, yes! Love me some D H Lawrence! Beautiful rendition of this story even within the restrictive content constraints of the early 1960s. I don’t think there is one poorly cast character and the look of it is exactly right. Mary Ure is such a Beauty! Hiller and powerfully ‘Hadean’ Howard superbly mismatched and ill-married. And DEAN STOCKWELL. OK the accent is bizarre, but mother-loving early adulthood was never so elegantly nor tenderly played.. Love the unobtainable BBC 1981 7-parter with Karl Johnson and ‘rents Eileen Atkins & Tom Bell for its careful completeness. But this has B&W SOUL. Thank you, Jon You made my day!
