Priest of Love
1981, English. Directed by Christopher Miles.
He was D.H. Lawrence. She was his Lady Chatterly. Their extraordinary romance was more tempestuous than any he wrote.
Following the banning and burning of his novel, "The Rainbow," D.H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, move to the United States, and then to Mexico. When Lawrence contracts tuberculosis, they return to England for a short time, then to Italy, where Lawrence writes "Lady Chatterley's Lover."
