Film of the Week: Sons and Lovers

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring Trevor Howard, Dean Stockwell, Wendy Hiller, Mary Ure, Heather Sears

A sensitive young miner's son struggles to find his identity amidst the bleak and claustrophobic surroundings of a Nottinghamshire coalfield at the turn of the century.
Trevor Howard's strong, penetrating study of an illiterate, hard-working miner is the outstanding feature of the powerful drama, one of the first film adaptations of a D.H. Lawrence novel.
