Lady Chatterley's Lover (1955 film)

Lady Chatterley's Lover (French: L'Amant de lady Chatterley) is a 1955 French drama film directed by Marc Allégret who co-wrote screenplay with Philippe de Rothschild and Gaston Bonheur, based on the 1928 novel by D. H. Lawrence.

[1] Of the six film adaptations of Lady Chatterley's Lover (two French, two British, and two American) this is the only one to be produced before the legal publication of the unexpurgated edition in 1960.

This film adds a plot device in which Lord Chatterley suggests to Lady Chatterley that she sleep with another man, so that they can have a child.

The film also has a more optimistic ending than Lawrence's book.
