Lady Chatterley's Lover (French:L'Amant de lady Chatterley) is a 1955 French drama film directed byMarc Allégret who co-wrote screenplay withPhilippe de Rothschild andGaston Bonheur, based onthe 1928 novel byD. H. Lawrence. In 1955, the film was banned in New York because it "promoted adultery", but it was released in 1959 after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court's decision.[1]
Of the six film adaptations ofLady 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. Thus, the producers had only the censored version to work with. The film has a more optimistic ending than Lawrence's book.
