Zitate
Herbert G. Muskett: [looking at a copy of Lawrence's book "Kangaroo"] It does not appear to be obscene in absolutely legal terms. Anti-British to the point of insanity.
Clerk to Herbert G. Muskett: Apparently, Mr. Lawrence is going to America.
Herbert G. Muskett: We must inform the authorities.
Clerk to Herbert G. Muskett: It's been attended to, Mr Muskett.
[reaching for the book]
Clerk to Herbert G. Muskett: Shall I take this?
Herbert G. Muskett: Leave it. I shall read it again. To make absolutely sure
[recommences intense study of the book]

Alternative Versionen
An abridged 99 minute "Centenary version" was released in 1985 in the UK to better box office and critical acclaim to commemorate the birth of D.H.Lawrence. As well as inevitable cutting of some material the shortened version also rearranges the placement of some of the flashback sequence and ends with Lawrence's death excluding the New Mexico epilogue. The short version is a properly re-prepared effort however with the appearance order end-credits redone to reflect the new positions in which characters first appear. Copies of the 1981 version, which was first released in the UK during the 1982 Falklands War when theatre going plummeted, now no longer exist.

Priest of Love

Looks at the later part of DH Lawrence's life with his beloved wife Frieda and their frequent movement from one country to another against a background of controversy and book banning / burning back in his native country.

The lead performances are believable and interesting and the second half is more accessible and enlightening than the first as you get closer to the couple's lives and Lawrence's vigorous self belief. The first half though is played out too fast, moving very quickly across the globe with the man having hissy fits with little explanation. Nice support from Penelope Keith.

Probably needs watching more than once.
