The Chatterley Affair

I recently saw the Chatterley Affair and really enjoyed it. The film came out in 2006 on the BBC. It deals with the trial in 1960 in which the publisher of D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" was brought to court under England's Obscene Publications Act. More specifically, it deals with the affair of two married jury members.

This film was really interesting to watch. The plot that was separate from the actual trial was extremely interesting. The trial itself was also very interesting. Many literary figures and English scholars were brought in to discuss the book. David Tennant gave an especially interesting cameo performance as Professor Richard Hoggart. The two main jury members were played by Louise Delamere and Rafe Spall. There performances seemed very simple, but always genuine.

I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!
