An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1960 release of “Sons and Lovers” 

A British period drama film directed by Jack Cardiff and adapted by Gavin Lambert and T. E. B. Clarke from the semi-autobiographical 1913 novel of the same name by D. H. Lawrence. It stars Trevor Howard, Dean Stockwell, Wendy Hiller and Mary Ure.

Set and filmed in the East Midlands of England, the film centres on a young man (Stockwell) with artistic talent who lives in a close-knit coal-mining town during the early 20th century, and finds himself inhibited by his emotionally manipulative, domineering mother (Hiller) - a literary, psychological interpretation of the Oedipus story.

"The first experiences of a young man in the mysteries of woman."
