The Virgin and the Gypsy

SKINOPSIS

This moving story of a young girl's sexual awakening in the face of her stifling home life is based on a novella by D.H. Lawrence (published posthumously). Sexy Joanna Shimkus (Mrs. Sidney Poitier) plays a sexy young thing who begins to see through the oppressive charade of a home life when she meets a brooding gypsy (cult star Franco Nero.) As befits any proper Lawrence adaptation, plenty of British birds including Honor Blackman, Ms. Shimkus, Imogen Hassall and Harriet Harper get into various states of nudity.
