If you are of a certain age, there’s a possibility you have a special connection to Lady Chatterley’s Lover<\/em><\/span>. No, not the book that was written by DH Lawrence in the late 1920s, but remained unavailable until a well-publicized obscenity trial in 1960, but the Skinemax classic from 1981<\/span> starring Sylvia Kristel and directed by Just Jaeckin, a follow-up to their classic Emmanuelle <\/em>This movie had a tendency to air way past midnight, when an adventuresome adolescent could perhaps sneak to the guest room, keep the volume super low, and catch a glimpse at some criticism of the British class system of the interwar period!<\/p>\n

No, no, this was not actually the draw. The draw, of course, was prurience with a capital P, but unlike other soft-core period pieces (and there were many!) there was at least an attempt made to tell some kind of story with this one. (The same can not be said for the ribald sequels Young Lady Chatterley <\/em>or, especially, Young Lady Chatterley II<\/em>co-starring Adam West.)<\/p>\n
