The Virgin and the Gypsy is a 1970 British drama film directed by Christopher Miles, based on the novella of the same name. It was screened at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the main competition.
Based on a 1926 work by D. H. Lawrence, the film follows two sisters, Lucille and Yvette, who come to the English countryside to vacation. Along the way, Yvette is interested in a gypsy who lives not far from her family's home. Slowly, Yvette becomes attracted to the gypsy, leading her to consider whether she wants to have a mundane life or a romance with someone her family may not accept.
