00:00:00I
00:02:00We are indebted to the Chatterley family for the memorial plaque which will serve to remind future generations of the brave men of this parish who gave their lives for us in the Great War 1914-1918.
00:02:17Sir Clifford, would you kindly lay the first wreath?
00:02:21Who's lucky, do you think?
00:02:37My brother or me?
00:02:38Clifford, please.
00:02:39I believe I am.
00:02:42Herbert has his immortality.
00:02:45But I have his title in Ragby Hall.
00:02:48I have his title in Ragby Hall.
00:03:18Here's to you, Connie.
00:03:35You've been so wonderful to me.
00:03:37A loyal wife.
00:03:39A good companion.
00:03:41A patient nurse.
00:03:43You're patient with me.
00:03:45Patient.
00:03:46Considered.
00:03:48Witty.
00:03:48Oh.
00:03:49Brave.
00:03:49Almost a perfect husband, isn't that?
00:03:53Well, to us both, then.
00:03:55Well, lucky one of us.
00:03:56To be wounded with the war nearly over and to come home like this, one might almost say that was dreadful luck.
00:04:05You mustn't look at it like that.
00:04:07You're alive.
00:04:07That's what matters.
00:04:08How long had we been married?
00:04:10Six months.
00:04:12Only one month living together as a real man and wife.
00:04:15I thought you'd mind terribly.
00:04:18I mind for your sake that you're paralyzed.
00:04:21Why should I mind for myself?
00:04:22Perhaps you're right.
00:04:23There's something much stronger than sex between you and I, isn't there?
00:04:30Yes, of course.
00:04:35Clifford, do you think that it's about time that we got a ballet, a manseller for you?
00:04:41Lady Redbone's butler has a cousin who's...
00:04:44I'll afford another servant just now, dear.
00:04:46You can afford a gamekeeper.
00:04:49Must I have some dreadful old butler hanging over me all the time?
00:04:53Have you?
00:04:55Anyway, we've always had a gamekeeper.
00:04:57It was Mellor's job before the war.
00:04:59He's finally decided to take up his old post again.
00:05:01Mrs. Marshall tells me that he terrifies the children of the village.
00:05:04He seizes them if they so much as venture into our orchard.
00:05:08Yes, he's a sort of wild man of the woods.
00:05:10Keeps very much to himself.
00:05:14Oh, my God.
00:05:44What?
00:05:47I'm sorry, I didn't know.
00:05:50Your ladyship, shall you come in?
00:05:57Did you not before?
00:05:59Um, no.
00:06:02Sort of wondered if I heard something.
00:06:03Oh, um, Sir Clifford asked me to tell you, could you come see him tomorrow afternoon about the accounts?
00:06:13Oh, aye.
00:06:14I'll call him before lunch then tomorrow.
00:06:17If Sir Clifford wants.
00:06:21Good afternoon.
00:06:26Good afternoon, you ladyship.
00:06:28I think this is really the very heart of England.
00:06:34When you think of the past, all the men who've gone from here to war,
00:06:41then my father and his workmen felling trees for the trenches.
00:06:44Now, you and me, who will come after us, Connie?
00:06:49I suppose the Colliers from Tevershill will take it over.
00:06:56They'll pull the whole place down and turn it into a day school for their kids.
00:07:01Perhaps it won't be so.
00:07:04It's never the obvious that happens, is it?
00:07:07If some of the old England isn't preserved, there'll be no England left at all.
00:07:11And we, who have this property, and the feeling for it, must preserve it.
00:07:18Well, I'm not from an ancestral horse, so all of this leaves me rather unmoved.
00:07:22Yes, well, it wouldn't, if you had a child to carry on.
00:07:26You see, I could train it to hang on to rugby, the minds of all of it.
00:07:30And you wouldn't mind if I let another man touch me?
00:07:32Of course I'd mind.
00:07:34But it's no use my minding, is it?
00:07:37I think it really might be quite a good idea if you were to have a child by another man.
00:07:43We brought it up at rugby. It would belong to us.
00:07:47Do you think you might consider it?
00:07:49You know quite well that I couldn't.
00:07:52Ramble!
00:07:56I say, Mellows!
00:07:57Come over here and give me a hand with the chair!
00:08:02Sir?
00:08:09That'll go, Mellows!
00:08:16Good night, you ladyship.
00:08:21Good night.
00:08:22Thank you for your help, Mellows.
00:08:26You're welcome, Sir Clifford.
00:08:32Festive enough, Mrs. Marshall?
00:08:33Oh, yes, Mellows, it looks lovely.
00:08:39Mr. Mellows has arrived with a holly and some more pheasant tales.
00:08:43He was wondering if it was as much as your ladyship wanted.
00:08:46Oh, is he still here?
00:08:49He's in the kitchen, Mellows.
00:08:52Could you turn to wait?
00:08:54Very well, Mellows.
00:08:55Very well, Mellows.
00:08:55Oh, there you are, Jill.
00:09:01Get on with it.
00:09:04Oh, that's splendid.
00:09:07Splendid.
00:09:08If your ladyship would like any more,
00:09:10a bit of spruce fell with corns on it.
00:09:13No, no, that's enough.
00:09:15Let the trees keep their branches.
00:09:17It seems a pity to bring them indoors to die.
00:09:19I'll go, then.
00:09:23There's nothing else.
00:09:26Oh, no, nothing else.
00:09:32Now, where shall we put all of this?
00:09:34There's a room in the hall, Mellady.
00:09:38Oh, really.
00:09:40I dread Christmas, it's the wall.
00:09:42Why, Mellady?
00:09:46Sir Clifford was wounded on Christmas Day.
00:09:49Well, Tommy, I suppose it would be absurd to ask if you're happy.
00:10:13Why, Father?
00:10:14Well, are you?
00:10:15I think I'm doing what I should do.
00:10:18My God, what you should do if that's the case.
00:10:20You're not being kind to yourself or anyone else.
00:10:23Well, perhaps not.
00:10:24I don't know.
00:10:25I'm not sure of anything much of late.
00:10:27If I were you, I'd be careful what I did with my youth.
00:10:30Doesn't last forever, you know.
00:10:33Well, what should I do, then?
00:10:36Live your life.
00:10:37It's Christmas.
00:10:38Enjoy yourself.
00:10:39Dance a little bit if you like.
00:10:41If you do, don't fret.
00:10:43Don't worry, I'll take care of Clifford.
00:10:53I've been waiting for you.
00:10:55For how long now, Donald?
00:10:57Why aren't you joining in?
00:10:59No, rather not.
00:11:04Is it a crime to still be yearning for you?
00:11:07Not if you leave it at that.
00:11:08I'm in love with you tonight.
00:11:13Is it the wine, or just your Christmas spirit?
00:11:16You used to care for me, too, remember?
00:11:18It was a long time ago.
00:11:20You were hardly more than children.
00:11:24I'm an incurable romantic.
00:11:26And I am a faithful wife.
00:11:28Ladies and gentlemen, orange and lemon.
00:11:31When you were coming, you are one of you.
00:11:45I am.
00:11:46Why?
00:11:46The way he manages you to.
00:11:48I was a dreadful housekeeper.
00:11:51And your patience with Clifford is wonderful.
00:11:54But he is patient with me.
00:11:56Well, I know, and he's been wonderful, too.
00:11:58And, of course, his brain is as brilliant as ever.
00:12:01But you know what I mean?
00:12:04Only half a man, as you might say.
00:12:07It's dreadful.
00:12:09And obviously, as your sister, I'm concerned for you.
00:12:12Being deprived of one half of a woman's life is worse for you because you're healthy.
00:12:18Hilda, what am I deprived of?
00:12:20Having a real husband.
00:12:25Poor darling, you're bound to suffer with all that taken away.
00:12:30I've got a real husband.
00:12:33Well, perhaps you're right.
00:12:35Perhaps it doesn't matter if you love him.
00:12:38I loved my husband, and it was wonderful at the time.
00:12:42But now he's hardly more real to me than the Duke of Wellington.
00:12:44A man provides for a woman's life, but he doesn't really enter into it, does he?
00:12:54I don't know, Hilda.
00:12:56Perhaps not.
00:12:57Well, as Christmas parties go, daughter, that was quite tolerable.
00:13:17But I wish you'd come away with me for a while.
00:13:20You need a break from rugby.
00:13:21I was feeling a bit down last night, but I'm all right now.
00:13:24Don't worry.
00:13:25But you could join me at Mandalay.
00:13:26I'll be there all winter, painting seascapes for my next show at the Royal Academy.
00:13:31I can't leave Clifford in the winter.
00:13:33Well, if I'm still there in the summer, promise to join me then.
00:13:36You can always come and stay with me, darling, if you can't leave Clifford for long.
00:13:41Bye, Hilda.
00:13:42Bye, babe.
00:13:43See you.
00:13:44You've got your break jam, daughter.
00:13:46You want to get your axle grease.
00:13:47Know what I mean?
00:13:49Goodbye, father.
00:13:50Goodbye.
00:13:50Race you, father.
00:13:55The universe shows us two aspects.
00:14:15On one side it is physically wasting, and on the other it is spiritually ascending.
00:14:24It is thus slowly passing.
00:14:27The slowness inconceivable in our measures of time.
00:14:31And on one side it is moving.
00:14:36In our measures.
00:14:37Oh, my God.
00:15:07Oh, my God.
00:15:37Oh, my God.
00:16:07I'm going down to Clifford.
00:16:09Now I'm going to say...
00:16:27Good morning, Clifford.
00:16:28Did you have a better night, dear?
00:16:33Didn't you sleep?
00:16:38Didn't you sleep at all?
00:16:40Oh, poor old con.
00:16:44Clifford, I invited Hilda.
00:16:46No!
00:16:47Not your sister here again.
00:16:49We saw her at Christmas.
00:16:51Look, it's just for a few days, and you're quite fond of Hilda, really.
00:16:54You know you are.
00:16:56Look, I haven't spoken to a soul in weeks.
00:16:58Even Mrs. Marshall said...
00:16:59What?
00:17:01Oh, all right, Connie.
00:17:04So long as I don't have to talk to her.
00:17:10Thank you, Clifford.
00:17:11Connie, whatever's the matter?
00:17:30Oh, it's nothing, really.
00:17:31I don't know what's the matter with me.
00:17:33What on earth is the matter with Connie, Clifford?
00:17:42She looks dreadful.
00:17:44Well, she's a little paler, certainly.
00:17:47Haven't you done anything about it?
00:17:49Do you think that's really necessary?
00:17:50Yes, I do.
00:17:55She's been under a tremendous strain of late.
00:17:59I want her to come to London and stay with me.
00:18:01And while she's there, she can see a decent doctor.
00:18:04She can see Dr. Shardlow here.
00:18:06She needs rest, Clifford.
00:18:09Our mother worried herself today.
00:18:10We're not taking any risks with Connie.
00:18:15You really must have a nurse.
00:18:18Someone to look after you.
00:18:19I've had enough of nurses, thank you.
00:18:22You're not a cheerful man to wait on, Clifford.
00:18:26Oh, and am I expected to be cheerful?
00:18:28Not if you don't want to be.
00:18:31But you mustn't pour all your depression over Connie.
00:18:34You can see what it does to her.
00:18:37I'd say you ought to have a nurse.
00:18:41Are you the person to tell me so?
00:18:43It looks like it, doesn't it?
00:18:46And Connie's coming with me to London tomorrow.
00:18:49You should get away more often, darling.
00:18:59But I can't, Hilda.
00:19:01Not at the moment.
00:19:03What we really need is a Florence Nightingale for Clifford.
00:19:06Well, I have thought of someone.
00:19:10Mrs. Bolton.
00:19:12Who's Mrs. Bolton?
00:19:15She's the district nurse.
00:19:17She's had a few battles with him, over minus compensations.
00:19:21But I think he quite respects her.
00:19:26Sounds a formidable lady.
00:19:27Must be worth a try.
00:19:34Good morning.
00:19:37How are you, Mrs. Bolton?
00:19:39I'm very well, thank you, milady.
00:19:42Good morning, dear.
00:19:44How are you?
00:19:45Morning, Connie.
00:19:46You've had your bath already?
00:19:48Yes, Mrs. Bolton managed it.
00:19:50Shall I shave you, then?
00:19:51Ah.
00:19:53In fact, I told Mrs. Bolton.
00:19:54But of course, if it's my lady.
00:19:55Mrs. Bolton is coming back to shave me in half an hour.
00:19:58Oh, well then, that's splendid.
00:19:59I'm sure Sir Clifford would prefer my lady.
00:20:02No, no, it's all arranged.
00:20:04I expect Sir Clifford quite enjoys your more professional touch, don't you, dear?
00:20:08Hmm?
00:20:09You see?
00:20:09Well, if you say so, milady.
00:20:14Will you get up a little later, dear?
00:20:16Yes, before lunch.
00:20:18I'll come back and help you dress.
00:20:20I wondered what the handling was.
00:20:42Mending the chicken coops for your home.
00:20:44They'll be nesting on it.
00:20:46Well, shall you sit down for a while?
00:20:47There's a little bench up there.
00:20:49You've not been well, I know.
00:20:50Yes, I think I will.
00:20:56I'll carry on this.
00:21:20I should like to come to the hut sometime.
00:21:29Just to sit here and...
00:21:32You lock the door when you're not here, don't you?
00:21:38Aye.
00:21:41Are there two keys?
00:21:43No.
00:21:43Could you get another key for the hut?
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:50Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:21:52Oh, I understand, milady.
00:21:54But where am I to find another key, if Sir Clifford hasn't got one?
00:21:58Well, has he another?
00:22:01You mind, Taff?
00:22:02I'm here a good bit by myself this time of year.
00:22:09What do you mean?
00:22:12Maybe he won't want to be here with any me around.
00:22:13Only you around?
00:22:17Why on earth should I be afraid of being here alone with you?
00:22:21Afraid?
00:22:21No.
00:22:23I only thought as you might not care for it, like.
00:22:25But I don't want you to stay away.
00:22:30I should like to come here whilst you're at the hut
00:22:32and help with the young pheasants when they hatch out.
00:22:35It's Sir Clifford's, don't you?
00:22:38And your ladyship pleases herself.
00:22:43One last thing.
00:22:45If Sir Clifford hasn't got a key,
00:22:46you'll have another one made up from the one you've got.
00:22:48Do you understand?
00:22:52If you let me know when you want it.
00:22:53Um, would you mind placing that vase of spray carnations
00:22:59where the light falls onto them?
00:23:03No, no, no.
00:23:04On the piano there.
00:23:08Careful.
00:23:09Um, a little forward.
00:23:14To the right a little.
00:23:17Ah, so.
00:23:19Now I can see them at their best.
00:23:21They're very beautiful, don't you think?
00:23:24And the scent is simply gorgeous.
00:23:27Now the scent is what I object to.
00:23:29Too funereal.
00:23:30Do you think so?
00:23:35Perhaps it is.
00:23:39Shall I shave you now, Sir Clifford,
00:23:41or would you rather shave yourself?
00:23:42Um, don't know.
00:23:44Do you mind returning when I ring?
00:23:45Of course, Sir Clifford.
00:23:58Mrs. Bolton!
00:24:05Um, I'd rather you shave me.
00:24:07Very good, Sir Clifford.
00:24:11Oh, and you might tell her ladyship
00:24:13that I'd like to speak with her.
00:24:15I noticed her leaving the house
00:24:17a few minutes ago, Sir Clifford.
00:24:20Really?
00:24:22It's good to see her active again,
00:24:24isn't it?
00:24:25Oh, nice.
00:24:41Little house for the birds.
00:24:43Right.
00:24:44Bit of shelter, like.
00:24:46It's so pretty.
00:24:48Have the birds made their nests?
00:24:50Aye.
00:24:50There's a Jenny Ren's nest over there.
00:24:52Where?
00:24:53Show me.
00:24:57I got that key you were asking for.
00:24:59Have you?
00:25:00Oh, how kind.
00:25:01I didn't see her for a while,
00:25:02so I thought you might not
00:25:03be wanting it anymore.
00:25:05You're sure you won't mind
00:25:06my being here?
00:25:08If you don't mind me working.
00:25:09No.
00:25:11Mrs. Bolton says
00:25:13I must get out of the house.
00:25:15I fret when I'm indoors
00:25:17and when I'm here
00:25:18and I feel you're somewhere about.
00:25:20I feel safe, that's all.
00:25:25I, uh...
00:25:27Well,
00:25:28when you do as you please,
00:25:29it's your own place.
00:25:32Very well, then.
00:25:34Where's the nest?
00:25:35Why, just here under the east.
00:25:38Oh!
00:25:39I wish I were a bird.
00:25:48Do you?
00:25:49What's such a little one as that?
00:25:59It's the end of the day.
00:26:00Hi.
00:26:09Another.
00:26:14Thank you for the key.
00:26:17You're welcome, milady.
00:26:18They're saying the old seams
00:26:23are running thin.
00:26:25A few more years
00:26:26and the mines will have to close down.
00:26:28Tevershull will go
00:26:29and rag be with it,
00:26:30so they say.
00:26:32It's bad enough
00:26:33during a strike,
00:26:34but my word,
00:26:35if they close for good,
00:26:37it'll be the end of the world.
00:26:39Everybody says it's a shame
00:26:41something can't be done.
00:26:43So,
00:26:43they're waiting for rag be
00:26:44to be wiped out,
00:26:45are they?
00:26:46Good.
00:26:47Good.
00:26:48Let them wait.
00:26:50I'll show them
00:26:50what I'm good for.
00:26:55I've been hatching plans
00:26:57of citing new developments.
00:26:58Next week,
00:26:59I shall visit the pit.
00:27:00The pit?
00:27:01Clifford,
00:27:01that's wonderful.
00:27:02You haven't visited the mine
00:27:03since the war.
00:27:04I've been fighting back.
00:27:06It appears
00:27:06our men have deserted us
00:27:07with cholera
00:27:08at Stax Gaze
00:27:09caught up to Mrs. Bolton.
00:27:10Oh, Mrs. Bolton.
00:27:11Oh, yes.
00:27:11Mrs. Bolton's
00:27:12an excellent informant.
00:27:14I get a picture
00:27:15of Tevershull from her
00:27:16which would require
00:27:16the services
00:27:17of a professional spy.
00:27:18You'd be amazed.
00:27:23Where are you going?
00:27:25Just to the woods.
00:27:28You seem rather restless
00:27:29of late.
00:27:31Do I?
00:27:33Are you happy?
00:27:34I...
00:27:35I hadn't thought about it.
00:27:37Why'd you ask?
00:27:38I couldn't bear it
00:27:39if you were unhappy.
00:27:40My love.
00:27:42Can I touch one?
00:28:00There you go.
00:28:01It's so adorable.
00:28:05Isn't it adorable?
00:28:09So little and so chic.
00:28:14He's one of the lively ones.
00:28:24There's nothing in this,
00:28:26is there?
00:28:26It's just that they're so unappraised.
00:28:30There's nothing in this.
00:28:32There's nothing in this.
00:28:48Just hold me, please.
00:29:18Just hold me, please.
00:29:48I think it's the ladyship. I'll go. I think Cook wants to see you.
00:29:57Oh, you ladyship! I was beginning to wonder what had become of you.
00:30:01Why on earth did you lock the doors?
00:30:03It was getting late. I naturally thought...
00:30:06It's never done. We don't lock our doors at this hour.
00:30:10Yes, milady.
00:30:11Besides, I told Sir Clifford I was going out.
00:30:14Oh, Sir Clifford never asked for you.
00:30:16Shall I ask Mrs. Marshall to put dinner back a bit?
00:30:21Perhaps you might. Ten minutes.
00:30:23Very good, milady. That'll give you time to dress.
00:30:28Sir Clifford took his degree at a German university.
00:30:31We both loved Germany before the war.
00:30:33Yes, yes.
00:30:36A terrible thing, the war.
00:30:39Ah, but possibly a bonus for our industry.
00:30:43Because, you see, Germany is restricted on her export of dyes.
00:30:49Aniline dyes.
00:30:50Which ones she used to make from our coal.
00:30:53Really, Clifford?
00:30:54So now that competition is removed, we must make our own dyes.
00:30:58And why not a chemical works of beneficial colliery?
00:31:00Producing coke for the blast furnaces of Sheffield,
00:31:03but also barrels of magic coal tar for all the colours of the rainbow.
00:31:07Yes, my dear.
00:31:09Soon when you walk the earth in goodly colours gloriously arrayed,
00:31:12you can reflect that all their beauty may be borrowed from the black coal seams under your feet.
00:31:17What do you say to that?
00:31:19Poor earth.
00:31:20Spencer's goodly colours were in the flowers.
00:31:23Now you'll tear them out to dig up your coal.
00:31:27Ah, well, that's progress for you, Lady Chatterley.
00:31:30Yes, Mr. Lindley.
00:31:31I'm afraid it is.
00:31:50What, what, what?
00:32:07Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
00:32:10you're quite late today
00:32:24didn't you think i wanted to see you again
00:32:30i want the folks that they all be thinking something
00:32:34you'll be near every day
00:32:36why nobody knows
00:32:40are you sorry about the other day
00:32:44i in a way
00:32:45thought i'd done with all that
00:32:47now i've begun again
00:32:49begun what
00:32:50life
00:32:52there's no keeping clear of it
00:32:54if you do you might as well die
00:32:57seems them to be broken open again
00:33:01well i'm glad
00:33:03but what when folk find out
00:33:05think about it
00:33:07think how lowered you'll feel
00:33:09one of your husband's servants
00:33:13do you think i'm lowering myself
00:33:15it's not that your lady
00:33:16how can i call you your ladyship for me
00:33:19i don't want you to call me your ladyship
00:33:21i don't care about it
00:33:22i hate it really
00:33:24i feel people are jeering at me when they're certain they are
00:33:27even you jeer at me
00:33:29me i don't jeer at you
00:33:31but think of the risk
00:33:33your ladyship carrying on with the gamekeeper
00:33:36it's not as if i were a gentleman
00:33:39i don't care
00:33:40you should care

00:34:04Right down here.
00:34:34What it is to touch thee.
00:35:04What it is to touch thee.
00:35:34Are you cold?
00:35:50Must go, thou wonder.
00:36:04Oh, well.
00:36:26It's had to happen.
00:36:27I suppose it had.
00:36:34Say something to me.
00:36:38What should I say to you?
00:36:41You aren't sorry, are you?
00:36:43Me?
00:36:44No.
00:36:46Hey-o.
00:36:46Good night.
00:36:58Good night.
00:36:58Good night.
00:37:22Looks like trouble, sir.
00:37:37Sound the horn, Bill.
00:37:38Lindley should be here somewhere.
00:37:39What are they doing?
00:37:40I don't know, but I shall find out.
00:37:42These tricks have got to stop.
00:37:43Lindley!
00:37:49Ah.
00:37:52There's no change, Sir Clifford.
00:37:54The men won't move the call, Tops.
00:37:55You'll see about that.
00:37:57Fields, help me out, please.
00:37:58What will you do?
00:38:00They must work.
00:38:01We shall see that they shall.
00:38:03How?
00:38:04Are you going to bully them into it?
00:38:05Need discipline.
00:38:07Drive.
00:38:08Either these men submit to my command,
00:38:10or they will starve.
00:38:11Hurry up, Fields.
00:38:14Clifford, must you?
00:38:15You can't believe in this sort of control.
00:38:17What sort should I believe in?
00:38:19The mines have got to pay.
00:38:20Look, we've got to have some feeling for others.
00:38:23We're not women, we're men.
00:38:24You can't hew coal with emotion.
00:38:27Especially from a poor seam.
00:38:28I'm ready.
00:38:29Tell them to let it roll.
00:38:30I don't think the men will ship, Sir Clifford.
00:38:31Not molester our clasts.
00:38:33They say if we move these,
00:38:34they're going to block...
00:38:35Utter rot.
00:38:36I am going down to inspect this mine.
00:38:44Now clear the gates.
00:38:46Any man who gets in the way,
00:38:47he does so at his own risk.
00:38:51Release the brake.
00:38:52I don't know, Sir Clifford.
00:38:53It might turn ugly.
00:38:54I said, let her go.
00:38:56It's all buff.
00:39:17You see?
00:39:20That's how we're going to win.
00:39:21Why?
00:39:35How's this?
00:39:37How did you get there?
00:39:40There.
00:39:41How did you?
00:39:42No.
00:39:46Are you going to the hut?
00:39:47No.
00:39:48You've been in the slip, Ike.
00:39:51Not now.
00:39:52Not now.
00:39:53Why not?
00:39:53Because I've got to run.
00:39:55I'm late.
00:39:55Hey.
00:39:56I want you.
00:39:58I want you now.
00:40:00Through you.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:18Oh, my God.
00:40:20Do you know?
00:40:21Oh, no, no.
00:40:23I love you.
00:40:31Oh, no.
00:40:31Oh, no, no.
00:40:33Oh, no.
00:40:34Oh.
00:40:35Oh, no.
00:40:40Oh, no.
00:40:42Oh, no, no ...
00:40:44Oh, my God.
00:41:14Oh, my God.
00:41:44Oh, my God.
00:42:14Oh, my God.
00:42:45I would.
00:42:46Even tonight, I'll find you.
00:42:48You wouldn't dare.
00:42:51Just run.
00:42:53Good night, you ladyship.
00:42:55Why did you say that?
00:42:58When are you gone?
00:43:00That's what you are to me.
00:43:03Good night.
00:43:04Well done, Mrs. Bolton.
00:43:22Oh, am I so late?
00:43:26Have you had dinner?
00:43:28Yes, indeed, my lady.
00:43:29Shall I ask Simpson to fetch you something on a tray?
00:43:32Oh, no, thank you.
00:43:34I went over to Marra Hay Farm to see the baby Mrs. Flint made me stay for tea.
00:43:38Oh, it's such a lovely baby.
00:43:41But did you wonder where I was?
00:43:42Well, we wondered, but we didn't think of sending around to the police station just yet.
00:43:47Quite right, too.
00:43:49I was telling Sir Clifford.
00:43:50We ought to be very glad if our ladyship can get out and find a bit of company amongst the folks round here.
00:43:56Well, you finish your game.
00:43:58No, no, no.
00:43:58Stay with me.
00:44:00Mrs. Bolton's had quiet enough for one evening.
00:44:02Yes.
00:44:03The two of you want to be alone.
00:44:05And I have a few things of my own I want to attend to.
00:44:08Really, I'll...
00:44:09No, please.
00:44:11Good night, Sir Clifford.
00:44:13Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
00:44:14Good night, my lady.
00:44:15Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
00:44:20Shall we play a game?
00:44:21Or shall I read to you?
00:44:22Or what should it be?
00:44:24Well, whatever you like, dear.
00:44:28Then I shall read Racine to you.
00:44:30In the grand manner, in French.
00:45:00Oh, dear.
00:45:07Dear me.
00:45:10Can't sleep again, Sir Clifford.
00:45:14What is it then?
00:45:16I don't know.
00:45:18In no man's land, were you?
00:45:21No.
00:45:22No, not tonight.
00:45:23I don't know.
00:45:24I don't know.
00:45:25I don't know.
00:45:26I don't know.
00:45:27I don't know.
00:45:28I don't know.
00:45:29I don't know.
00:45:30I don't know.
00:45:31I don't know.
00:45:32I don't know.
00:45:33I don't know.
00:45:34I don't know.
00:45:35I don't know.
00:45:36Oh, yes!
00:46:04This was a wedding present from one of Sir Clifford's aunts.
00:46:08It's quite horrid.
00:46:09It's perfect for a jungle sale.
00:46:11She never visits us.
00:46:12Put it with the things to go.
00:46:14It should fetch quite a bit, I would think.
00:46:16I wonder what this is.
00:46:18Well, let's have a look.
00:46:21Oh, it's an old cradle.
00:46:24Hi!
00:46:25So it is.
00:46:28Oh, it's sweet, but a bit cumbersome, don't you think?
00:46:31No, I like it.
00:46:32I like it very much.
00:46:33It seems almost alive.
00:46:36I suppose it's been you so often.
00:46:38Oh, perhaps by Sir Clifford's father and his grandfather.
00:46:41Sir Clifford, too.
00:46:44Just fancy, though.
00:46:45In these old family houses, things linger on,
00:46:48no matter how the world changes.
00:46:51It seems a pity there isn't a little baby to put in it now.
00:46:55Don't you think?
00:46:57I suppose it is.
00:47:02But there may be.
00:47:06Well, that would be good news.
00:47:10Yes, of course.
00:47:11But you're not expecting, are you?
00:47:14Well, no, no, not as a certainty, but you never know.
00:47:18I mean, he can't, can't he?
00:47:22Well, that's what I thought myself just at first, but then I got to thinking.
00:47:27Oh, surely it's impossible.
00:47:28Well, yes, you would think so.
00:47:30Of course, Sir Clifford's legs are paralysed, but you see,
00:47:33when I have to wash him, you know, down there, it's surprising.
00:47:40Of course, the poor man feels toughing, I suppose, but all the same.
00:47:48Wonders will never cease, then.
00:47:49It seems he can all but kill a man,
00:47:52and he'll still be able to do something that way.
00:47:59Connie?
00:48:00Hmm?
00:48:01Did you know there's a rumour you're going to supply raggedy with an heir?
00:48:06No.
00:48:10Said a joke or malice.
00:48:13I hope it may be prophecy.
00:48:17And who may I ask as the prophet?
00:48:20Happily enough, it was the rector.
00:48:21I've just had him on the telephone.
00:48:23He wanted me to be the first to know.
00:48:25But since he just heard the news from his housekeeper,
00:48:27I suppose it must be all over the entire village by now.
00:48:29Well, fortunately, the entire village knows that she's an incorrigible rumourmonger.
00:48:36The thing is, do you mind turning around?
00:48:43Connie.
00:48:47The thing is, can you think how such a rumour could have started,
00:48:50or whether there's any foundation for it?
00:48:52There is no foundation for it, as far as I know.
00:48:57Clifford, there's this wonderful piece that I want you to read every time.
00:49:00Is there a man yet?
00:49:01May one ask.
00:49:02Why should you ask, Clifford?
00:49:04There might be.
00:49:06Quite.
00:49:07Might be.
00:49:08Between might be and maybe is such a long stride.
00:49:11If I were to say that I may be going to have a child,
00:49:13what would you say?
00:49:15What would you feel?
00:49:16Is it true that you may be going to have a child?
00:49:18No, but I might be.
00:49:18Well, when my change is to May, I'll let you know how I feel.
00:49:22Until then, I see no reasons to rack my brains.
00:49:24Rumour or no rumour?
00:49:25No, I suppose not.
00:49:27Look, I don't care who the father may be.
00:49:29Give me the child of any healthy, normally intelligent man,
00:49:33and I'll make a perfect chattele of it.
00:49:35Hey, I'll bear that in mind.
00:49:36I told Sir Clifford I might have a child.
00:49:47He told him that?
00:49:50Yes.
00:49:51And you see, I might.
00:49:56And what did he say?
00:50:00Oh, he wouldn't mind.
00:50:01He'd be glad, really.
00:50:03So long as it appeared to be his.
00:50:04No mention of me, of course.
00:50:11No.
00:50:15No, well, he'd hardly be thrilled with me as his substitute.
00:50:22When are you supposed to be getting this child?
00:50:25I'll be going away this summer with my father and sister.
00:50:28I might have a love affair then.
00:50:30Do you mind?
00:50:34Is that why you're going?
00:50:37Not to have the love affair.
00:50:39Just the appearance of one.
00:50:43You'd think you'd found somebody higher up, like.
00:50:46What would he say if you thought it were me?
00:50:50He'd hate it.
00:50:52But you'd never tell him, would you?
00:50:53Me?
00:50:55No.
00:50:56He'd never be the wiser if he waited for my telly.
00:51:08That's what you wanted me for then, was it?
00:51:11A baby?
00:51:13No, not really.
00:51:16What then?
00:51:17Really?
00:51:19I don't know.
00:51:20I'm damned if I do.
00:51:24I wanted...
00:51:25I don't know what I wanted.
00:51:27I wanted...
00:51:29I wanted you.
00:51:32Yes, I did.
00:51:33I do.
00:51:34And perhaps the baby.
00:51:41Well then.
00:51:42It's as your ladyship likes.
00:51:45If you get the baby, it's a Clifford's welcome to it.
00:51:48If you've made use of me, it won't be the first time it's happened.
00:51:51But I didn't make use of you.
00:51:53At your service, my lady.
00:51:57So you never liked me?
00:51:59I liked your body.
00:52:01Me body?
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:02And do you like it now?
00:52:05Then we quit.
00:52:06I'll like yours.
00:52:09Do you want to go inside?
00:52:11You want me?
00:52:12All right.
00:52:13If you want it.
00:52:14I want to touch you the way you touch me.
00:52:17I've never really touched you.
00:52:20Now?
00:52:21Now?
00:52:21Now?
00:52:34I...
00:52:34I...
00:52:35You were no good that time.
00:52:47You wasn't there.
00:52:48I never was.
00:52:52It's once in a while that way.
00:52:56I...
00:52:57I can't love you.
00:52:59Can't you?
00:53:03Well, don't fret.
00:53:05There's no losses you've got to.
00:53:09Take it for what it is.
00:53:10But I want to love you and I can't.
00:53:15It just seems horrid.
00:53:18It isn't horrid.
00:53:19Even if you think it is.
00:53:21You can't force yourself to love someone.
00:53:23Don't you cross with me.
00:53:29Nay, nay.
00:53:31Take the thick with the thin.
00:53:34This will be too thin for once.
00:53:35There's sure to be a bad nut in a basket full.
00:53:46Don't go.
00:53:48Don't leave me.
00:53:56Is it many years since you lost your husband?
00:53:5923 years since they brought him home.
00:54:02Brought him home?
00:54:03There was an explosion in the mines.
00:54:07And then he killed?
00:54:09None except Ted.
00:54:12The others got their heads down in time.
00:54:15But they found him.
00:54:16Stretched out so they'd been running away from the blast.
00:54:19So they claimed it was his own fault.
00:54:22Cause of death.
00:54:25Cowardice.
00:54:27That's what they said at the inquiry.
00:54:29On the master's side.
00:54:31You didn't believe them, did you?
00:54:33No, I did not.
00:54:36Ted was as fearless and steady as a man ever there was.
00:54:41He never should have gone down the pits.
00:54:43He never would have except for his dad.
00:54:45I've often wished I made him take a job above ground.
00:54:48And you never thought to re-marry him?
00:54:52No, I couldn't.
00:54:53It was such a shock.
00:54:55Ted was never dead for me.
00:54:57I never really took it in.
00:55:00How terrible for you to have your life in there.
00:55:03It's true.
00:55:05A part of me did end there.
00:55:06I kept waking up in the night angry.
00:55:11Thinking, how could you leave me?
00:55:15I did love him to hold me.
00:55:18And I've kissed every inch of his body.
00:55:21That's what I can't forget.
00:55:26The touch of him.
00:55:27That's it.
00:55:29The touch of him.
00:55:31I never got over that.
00:55:33And I never shall.
00:55:35But can a touch last so long?
00:55:39Oh, my lady.
00:55:41What else is there to last?
00:55:43Even your children grow away from you.
00:55:45But when you've...
00:55:47When you've been worn through by a man...
00:55:52That feeling lasts...
00:55:54Always.
00:56:02I got summonsers for the two poachers, like you said.
00:56:06Them two Stag's Gate colliers.
00:56:08Well?
00:56:09What happened?
00:56:11They was at a put-up to it court yesterday.
00:56:14What did they get?
00:56:15They got off.
00:56:20I assume you gave evidence.
00:56:23I was waiting for them.
00:56:25Seen them setting the snares night before.
00:56:27Oh, you told them where you catched them, like.
00:56:31And what with, eh?
00:56:35Aye, something like.
00:56:38Go on.
00:56:40I said I catched them same fellas twice before.
00:56:43They swore as they hadn't.
00:56:44Which was a lie.
00:56:46And the magistrate had let them off.
00:56:48No witnesses?
00:56:51No.
00:56:53Did he tell you you were a bright boy?
00:56:57No, Sir Clifford.
00:56:59He said I had to do me duty by me employer.
00:57:01Like any man in any other job.
00:57:03And the court, no doubt, gave you three cheers.
00:57:08Well, they might have done.
00:57:10Only they didn't.
00:57:11Good morning.
00:57:15Did you mean as it was to go, Sir Clifford?
00:57:16Sir, you hit the nail on the head.
00:57:22Good morning to you, Sir Clifford.
00:57:24When are you leaving?
00:57:34The beginning of July.
00:57:37So you don't mind, do you?
00:57:38It wouldn't do any good me minding, would it?
00:57:42I can't go if you don't like me for going.
00:57:45Nay, you'll do as you please.
00:57:46All you've got to do is say,
00:57:48Nellers, I'm going away for a bit.
00:57:50Hope I shall see you when I get back.
00:57:51Oh, yes, I hope I shall.
00:57:55And you won't.
00:57:56Why?
00:57:58Where would you go?
00:58:00To Canada.
00:58:01To Canada.
00:58:03Well, why Canada?
00:58:05I've got a brother there.
00:58:08Are you all right here?
00:58:09Oh, I'm all right.
00:58:10I'm a gamekeeper at 35 above a week.
00:58:13I'm Sir Clifford's servant,
00:58:15and Lady Chatterley's...
00:58:16What do you call it in your sort of talk?
00:58:20You're my lover.
00:58:21Lover.
00:58:22Your ladyship's a fucker.
00:58:26Even if you are?
00:58:28Are you ashamed of it?
00:58:30No.
00:58:32What does it matter if you...
00:58:34Go on, say it.
00:58:36What does it matter if I...
00:58:37If you fuck me as you call it,
00:58:40when you know that I want you to.
00:58:42Ah, you're right.
00:58:43That's what it is to be a proper lady.
00:58:47There's nothing even to laugh at in it.
00:58:49And why are you so cross?
00:58:50Let's go inside for a while.
00:58:56And maybe I can tell you.
00:58:58What sort of man am I?
00:59:04Hanging on the beck and call of a cripple and carrying on with his wife.
00:59:07I would add up before a magistrate would say I was nothing but a thief and a scoundrel.
00:59:12I can't go amongst your sort of people.
00:59:15Well, I don't want to.
00:59:17And you can't come down to my sort.
00:59:20I won't want it for the world.
00:59:21Why can't we just stay as we are?
00:59:23You appear when you like, and you disappear when you like.
00:59:27You take no account of me.
00:59:28I can't walk about these woods, taking orders from Sir Clifford,
00:59:32and watching every minute of my life for you.
00:59:33Were you all right before you knew me?
00:59:36I may be.
00:59:37But I was already thinking about Canada.
00:59:41Well, then.
00:59:43Better just say goodbye and forget it.
00:59:45I'll be just as I was before.
00:59:47Before this spring.
00:59:49I'm grateful to you for all you've given me.
00:59:51I am.
00:59:52You've been good to me.
00:59:55Don't say I've been good to you.
00:59:58You've given me more than I've given you.
01:00:00No, you hate me, really.
01:00:01I won't disturb you anymore.
01:00:03Wait a bit.
01:00:06Don't leave me for good.
01:00:09Not yet.
01:00:13Say, you'll still be mine in the wood.
01:00:17What shall I say?
01:00:19Say, I shall always be yours in the wood.
01:00:23I shall always be yours in the wood.
01:00:27How beautiful the world is of this time of year, Clifford.
01:00:37You're right, my darling.
01:00:38It is amazingly lovely.
01:00:41Shall we go down to the lake?
01:00:43Oh, yes.
01:00:44Later.
01:00:44I'll raise you.
01:00:45Be on my foaming steam.
01:00:47Snorting, at least.
01:00:48My dear, take you to the high.
01:00:50I thought you were going to be mine in the woods and is in the rest of the world.
01:01:03I mean to be, but Clifford wanted to go by the lake.
01:01:11Shall you stay with me tonight?
01:01:14Tonight?
01:01:15Aye, tonight.
01:01:16At the cottage.
01:01:18Yes.
01:01:19Shall I wait for you at the gate?
01:01:20Yes.
01:01:21Sometime after ten.
01:01:22After ten.
01:01:23Feathers!
01:01:34Feathers!
01:01:42Feathers!
01:01:51Feathers.
01:01:52Feathers.
01:01:52I wonder what took him, Sir Longley, any other time the fool would have been poking his nose in before now.
01:02:04I thought I had trouble. Why should I do it?
01:02:07Apparently not.
01:02:08Has she run out of juice?
01:02:09No, no, I shouldn't think so. Field topped her up.
01:02:14She's overeated. Better let me push her, sir.
01:02:17No, no, no, she's done it before. Get off, get off, get off.
01:02:22You're in for your sounds.
01:02:25Paper?
01:02:27There, you see? You see, she's doing it. Are you pushing?
01:02:31Fine, please.
01:02:32I ask you not to.
01:02:34Let her try. She's got to do it.
01:02:36I've got to.
01:02:38Oh, Carter.
01:02:42Will you stop it and wait till you're asked?
01:02:52Clifford, you'll break.
01:03:01It's obvious.
01:03:03I'm at everybody's mercy.
01:03:04I expect she'll have to be pushed home.
01:03:13Do you mind pushing me home, Mellors?
01:03:19And excuse anything I said.
01:03:22It's nothing to me.
01:03:23Are you ready, then, Sir Clifford?
01:03:38When you are.
01:03:39I'm going to push, too.
01:03:56Is that necessary?
01:03:57Barry, do you want to kill the man?
01:03:58It's all right, Your Ladyship.
01:04:14I can manage you now.
01:04:15I'm afraid I was a bit short with Mellors today.
01:04:27But the fellow shouldn't interfere.
01:04:29He's only trying to help.
01:04:31I don't want help that I don't ask for.
01:04:33I don't understand you.
01:04:35It would have been so much easier.
01:04:36Your sympathy's always with the servants and the underlings.
01:04:41Still, Mellors, no harm to sweat him.
01:04:42Little, take some of the impudence out of him.
01:04:45Weren't you impudent to him?
01:04:47No, not as far as I was aware.
01:04:50You, of course, in your zeal for the servant classes,
01:04:54may have detected ill-treatment of the poor, down-trodden Mellors.
01:04:58But that is your weakness.
01:04:59Oh, my weakness?
01:05:00Yes.
01:05:01A feeling of sympathy, kinship with the servant class.
01:05:05And what is this servant class?
01:05:08Because Mellors sweated and almost broke his back
01:05:11and pushed you all the way home as he the servant class.
01:05:14Evidently, or he wouldn't be in the position of having to do it.
01:05:16Oh, so if he were sitting in your chair with paralyzed legs,
01:05:20would you push him...
01:05:20Oh, of course not.
01:05:22Why on earth should I be grateful to him?
01:05:23I pay the man as he did nothing for me.
01:05:25My gratitude is hateful.
01:05:27My dear Connie, I'm infinitely obliged to him, as I told him.
01:05:31What more would you have me do?
01:05:32I would have you be more aware of people.
01:05:34I would have you be a little less aware of that kind of people
01:05:36and a little more aware of the kind of people
01:05:38who are after all your own class.
01:05:39Apart from what we own,
01:05:42we make employment for Mellors and his type.
01:05:45We make it possible for the Mellors of this world to exist.
01:05:48We can live without them.
01:05:50What they must realize is that they cannot live without us.
01:05:54And therefore they're not going to dictate terms.
01:05:56They'll never accept that.
01:05:57Then they shall have to be made to.
01:06:00What is Mellors anyway?
01:06:02It's just a half-tame animal with a gun.
01:06:03Come on.
01:06:03Come on.
01:06:09Come on.
01:06:39Come on.
01:07:09You're well on time.
01:07:14Yes.
01:07:14It was perfectly easy.
01:07:16Are you all right?
01:07:17I was so afraid you'd hurt yourself this morning.
01:07:19Lift in the chair.
01:07:20No.
01:07:21I'm all right.
01:07:23I'd forgotten it were only this morning.
01:07:26Seems a long time since then, doesn't it?
01:07:27It feels like years.
01:07:29There are so many strange little noises.
01:07:40Aye.
01:07:41It's the trees.
01:07:43Creaking and rubbing together.
01:07:45They're always moving.
01:07:47Easing themselves.
01:07:49Of course, as they was talking.
01:07:51Oh, wondrous.
01:07:52Did you leave the lights burning?
01:08:02I always do at night.
01:08:03A bit of mattering.
01:08:06Do you have something to eat?
01:08:07Some bread and cheese?
01:08:08No, thank you, but you eat.
01:08:11I don't feel like you said you don't.
01:08:16My feet got cold.
01:08:18Aye.
01:08:20It's warming up in here.
01:08:21It's me.
01:08:32Come here, then.
01:08:37You always slept here.
01:08:39Aye.
01:08:41But your wife?
01:08:43Is this the bed where she slept and had your child?
01:08:45There's no other.
01:08:47Did you love your wife?
01:08:49She's not a nice woman.
01:08:50Never was.
01:08:52She cares for nobody.
01:08:53Not even a child.
01:08:55Anyhow, she's living with somebody else now.
01:08:58Then why don't you get a divorce?
01:09:00You're not even legally separated, are you?
01:09:03No.
01:09:05So what if she changes her mind?
01:09:07She won't come within a mile of me.
01:09:10She hates me a lot worse than I hate her.
01:09:15You know.
01:09:20You know.
01:09:21You know.
