Sons and Lovers (1960) watch online

Sons and Lovers is a 1960 British period drama film directed by Jack Cardiff, adapted by Gavin Lambert and T. E. B. Clarke from D. H. Lawrence's 1913 semi-autobiographical novel. It stars Trevor Howard, Dean Stockwell, Wendy Hiller, Mary Ure, and Heather Sears.

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.

Premiering at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, the film was well received by critics and a commercial success. At the 33rd Academy Awards, it won Best Cinematography – Black-and-White and was nominated in six other categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Howard), and Best Supporting Actress (for Ure). For his work on the film, Jack Cardiff won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and the National Board of Review Award for Best Director.
