...have meant in the original novel, the film presents the story as a routine marital triangle, albeit one clothed in some impressive pastoral photography. Part of the picture's lack of dramatic impact undoubtedly stems from the routine character of the acting. Only one of the principals, Danielle Darrieux, as Lady Chatterley, brings some life into the proceedings. Her transition from a cool, self-possessed society woman to the wife of a gamekeeper is, on the whole, credible. Leo Genn, in the part of Sir Clifford, gives a singularly plodding performance and his French always sounds self-conscious and forced...
...cast of the film reads something like an index of the modern French stage. It includes, among others, Gerard Philippe, Danielle Darrieux, Daniel Gelin, Simone Simon, Anton Walbrook, and Jean-Louis Barrault.

No. s-to-be can give him none of these things, but moonstruck Rubirosa, aching to marry her "probably within one month," husked that his fiancee, fast-rising Paris Actress Odile (Fabien) Rodin, 19,* is "pretty, intelligent, gracious and good...
Lady Chatterley's Lover, the gamiest gamekeeper in literature, tried to squeeze into New York State in the form of a French film adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's famed novel, with French Cinemactress Danielle Darrieux as Lady Chat-terly, but was kept out by the New York board of regents. Condemning the entire movie as "immoral" in theme, the board said the film "glorifies adultery," presenting it as a "desirable, acceptable and proper pattern of behavior...
