CAST Sandy Dennis, Anne Heywood, Keir Dullea, Glynne Morris

Based on D.H. Lawrence’s novella about two young women – sickly, chattering Jill Banford and quiet, strong Ellen March – who are trying, hopelessly, to run a chicken farm in Canada. A gentle but powerful man Paul Renfield who used to live on their farm returns and puts things in order. But his proposal of marriage to Ellen awakens the lesbianism dormant in the girls: Jill uses her weakness to make Ellen feel protective, and the women become active lesbians. –IMDb
