D. H. Lawrence Remembered: The Dreaming Woman

on BBC Two England

The second of two documentaries
Malcolm Muggeridge talks to Helen Corke about her relationship with D. H. Lawrence
[Starring] Maurice Roeves as D.H. Lawrence, Ellen Dryden as The young Helen Corke, James Maxwell as Siegmund, Jane Rushton as Jessie Chambers

This programme was first shown a year ago, and Helen Corke was then eighty-six years old. She knew D. H. Lawrence for four years at the most crucial time of his life, just before the success of Sons and Lovers. His second novel, The Trespasser, is based on a series of tragic events in her life, and she is the inspiration of a number of his poems.
To listen to Helen Corke speaking of these past storms with such matter-of-fact objectivity, to try to reconstruct the strong-willed young woman from the old mask, was totally fascinating, (Daily Mail)
Miss Corke told a sad story with dignity. (The Times)
