The first time when I saw this film was a late night on TV from BBC. I was eating my cake and had not expect anything special from this film. However after the movie had started I was totally "feeled and falling" into the film. This film is not a big production. Although it is small budgetted but the film was made in 1970 in a rather charming and stylish way. The director told out this novel story of D.H. Lawrence via this film in a subtle way, to express the look of love and passion of the several main characters. The scenes of how the young lady(Joanna Shimkus)rejects the love of his boyfriend and also how Mrs. Fawcett(Honor Blackman)criticizing the passionate feeling between the young lady and the gypsy are very excellent and stunning. it seems telling us one should understand and realize that one side in love is tasteless. Also how strange and funny life is when one is so often morally strongly condemed by other people, oneself on the same time to criticizing the love life of other one. I have not read the novel, but i like this movie eventhough it might not have been following the exact plot line of the book. We are talking the film, not hte book. Overall it is a little gem, a charming film. All the actor and actress have performced well in the film. So try to locate this film, watch it and enjoy it!
