The Virgin and the Gypsy
“The minister's daughter. Her father taught her about God. The gypsy taught her about Heaven.”
Film adaptation from the novel by D.H. Lawrence, discovered after the celebrated author's death in 1930, a romantic love story tells of a prim young English girl who is sexually attracted to a seductively virile gypsy. The climatic dam burst is linked with the consummation of her desire.
