Glimpsing Parkin nude to the waist rinsing his powerful torso, she’s so shaken she has to sit down. One resplendent autumn day, Constance hikes out to tell the gamekeeper, Parkin (Jean-Louis Coulloc’h), that the cook will require two pheasants. Wealthy from coal mines whose tired, dust-blackened workers are sometimes seen, the Chatterleys live on a vast wooded estate tended by servants. Pleasant, well-born Lady Constance Chatterley (Marina Hands) is married to older Sir Clifford Chatterley (Hippolyte Girardot), a WWI vet paralyzed from the waist down. Novel’s second version, in which the gamekeeper is called Oliver Parkin rather than Oliver Mellors, is much more about tenderness and compassion than brute sex and four-letter words. Pic perfectly incorporates both male and female full-frontal nudity, but hasn’t so much as a hint of the nasty language that made the final version of the novel, “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” the subject of a landmark obscenity trial in London as late as 1960.
