Trivia
Oliver Reed and Sir Alan Bates were initially apprehensive about filming the legendary nude wrestling scene, due to insecurity over who might have the larger 'member'. To 'prepare', both consumed a bottle of vodka each, and subsequently realized there was little difference between the two. Filming continued with relative ease.

Goofs
Towards the end of the movie, in the garden, someone holds up the front page of "The Yorkshire Echo" The headline says Miner's Riots. It should read Miners' Riots.

Quotes
Gerald Crich: And who is "Gudrun"?
Gudrun Brangwen: In a Norse myth, Gudrun was a sinner who murdered her husband.
Gerald Crich: And will you live up to that?
Gudrun Brangwen: Which would you prefer me to live up to, Mr Crich? The sinner or the murderer?

Insanely Beautiful

Can you imagine the effect this movie had in 1969? I is still ahead of the times. Merit, in great part, of Larry Kramer who adapted DH Lawrence's work in a way nobody else could have. Scrumptious, subversive, extraordinary. Director Ken Russell with some startling titles to his name - his BBC production of Isadora Duncan with a sublime Vivien Pickles in the title role, for instance - reaches here some kind of mountain top. Glenda Jackson became a household name, Alan Bates confirmed what we all knew, that he was one of the greatest actors that ever lived. I devoured the film with utter pleasure 48 years after its first released. Literature and cinema in an insanely beautiful alliance.
