The film follows two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, played by Jennie Linden and the always-incredible Glenda Jackson [who won best actress for this], as they hook up with two men, the quiet and spiritual Rupert, played by Alan Bates, and bottled rage reservoir Gerald, played by Oliver Reed. The movie explores and contrasts the relationships of the two couples as Ursula and Rupert learn to coexist despite their temperamental differences, while Gudrun and Gerald feeding on each other's weaknesses, with the emotionally manipulative Gudrun gradually destroying the bottled-up Gerald. But while all this is happening Rupert is yearning for Gerald, and that's the aspect I'm most interested in here.

This is a very special film that has not lost its beauty and appeal now even though it was made over 40 years ago. Extraordinarily striking and highly sensual, it is a must see for anyone truly interested in film.
Time Has No Power Over Women In Love,
Author: Galina from Virginia, USA
Ken Russell's adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's novel Women in Love is one of my favorite films. It explores the hearts and minds, personalities, and philosophies of four intelligent and educated young people in the beginning of 20-th century and their romantic relationships (heterosexual and homosexual, friendship, love and desire). They are played by Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, and Jennie Linden.
Glenda Jackson who was relatively unknown at the time won her first Oscar for a magnificent performance in a most difficult role: her Gudrun is not a likable character, she is an self-centered predator, but she is honest and very interesting. I read some comments that she was not beautiful. Well, she may not have been pretty but I believe there is more than prettiness to make a woman loved, and admired otherwise a lot of women in this world would never be able to learn the feeling. Gudrun's intelligence, strong character, and self-confidence make her very attractive and desirable...
