After the war, a young social climber juggles his affections toward the daughter of a local industrial magnate and an older married woman.

Based on D.H. Lawrence's novel, Sons and Lovers tells the story of Paul Morel (Dean Stockwell), a miner's (Trevor Howard) son who's determined to become an artist. Morel relies on the financial generosity of his girlfriends, but his devotion to his mother (Wendy Hiller) prevents him from returning their love. Sons and Lovers received several Oscar nominations -- including Best Picture and Director -- and won a Best Cinematography Oscar.
