Still one of the greatest short stories ever written. Lawrence was at the peak of his artistic power. This is essentially a symbolist piece, an extended metaphor for the psycho-sexual and emotional toll of capital -- I'm hard-pressed to think of a more powerful example in literature. "There MUST be more money!" If the frantic solitary rocking reminds you of something ... you're onto it.

Superb story and well directed as the real story written by D. H. Lawrence.

How sad and real story it is It seems it talks about even the modern society that we have right now (

How much he worked hard to make Mom happy and make her realise son or money to be valued and paid more attention...

nice story. it is very nicely directed

Read this for English and doing a report on it so I thought it might be good to watch it too

It’s Andrew from The Tomorrow People!

really helpful.

Wonder how she felt about the house after that "win".

This version seemed more demonic and evil than the original

I think I may have seen this at the cinema (London) with one of the Roger Moore bond films.

This film terrified me as a child

😭😭😭

Produced ny Lewis More O'Ferrall.

NECRT woven words class 11 anyone??

Scott Walker brought me here.

The 1949 film was far better. It was an hour longer and allowed much more understanding of the characters. Kenneth More was just wasted here, and Bassett was almost a non-character compared to the one played by John Mills in the original film. The uncle and gardener were supposed to be sympathetic and well-meaning to the boy, but here it seemed they just wanted to exploit him to make money. All the background in the story about the mother and father were missing. (The father was a gambler and the mother insisted on living beyond their means to advance the social ladder.).

Is this about child abuse?

The rocking horse is an F.H Ayres ''D'' Type, the right period for the film, being made in the 1930's.

4:07 bit of a rubbish joke.
