Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

NutzieFagin If you need a quick synopsis of the plot line for Goergy Girl, listen to the lyrics of the intro song Goergy Girl at the beginning of the movie.Sweet Georgina, a lonely British girl in the 60's dreams of what usually some unattractive, overweight girls wish for. A knight with shining armor to sweep her off her feet, marry her and live happily ever after in a castle with an adoring husband and especially lots of children.Well... as you may know, life does not turn out like we wish. Georgina or better known as "Georgy" does have an admirer. He is her parents employer, James Learnington, played by the stately James Mason, a wealthy, soon to be widowed, slightly lecherous millionaire who is captivated by Georgy's youth, wit and charm. Because of his fondness for Georgy he seems to treat her parents (his servants) almos6 like family and allows Georgy to teach a kindergarten/dance class in his home. But Georgy still craves to be like her room mate, vain, conceited Meredith who is is popular with all men and the IN crowd. Meredith's boyfriend, Joes, a clownish, childlike man, follows Meredith around like a love starved puppy and overlooks her catty abusive behavior. Suddenly, Meredith announces "she's bored" ...and pregnant and this two, who really make the image for bad parents decide to get married. Georgy, a true blue friend and the usual third wheel, supports their decision and provides gifts for the baby from her senior admirer.But as expected, selfish Meredith and irresponsible Joes are not the picture of good parents. Now Georgy makes a decision...what to wish for or what can she go after and get because she has fallen in love with their baby and she wants to adopt her.Georgy Girl is a modern tale of a girl who breezes thru life with a sort of low self esteem. But she has a happy ending because like the Wizard of OZ, she realizes she has what she wants in her own backyard and she has the ability to get it. The acting is very good and this movie launched the career for Lynn Redgrave. Also, with a good Supporting cast, a well written screen play, and like the pop song, Georgy Girl by The Seekers, it is a fresh and bouncy British film.

wes-connors In swinging sixties London, big unattractive Lynn Redgrave (as Georgina "Georgy" Parkin) has a surprise courtship with amorous young Alan Bates (as Jos Jones). Complicating matters is sexually charged Charlotte Rampling (as Meredith Montgomery), a friend and roommate of both. Their household becomes larger when Ms. Rampling decides not to terminate her third pregnancy by Mr. Bates. Meanwhile, Ms. Redgrave is also courted by older millionaire James Mason (as James Leamington). After much cavorting, we reach an end to Redgrave's quest for happiness... A weak ending pretty much does the picture in, although it starts out with a terrific sequence introducing Redgrave's character. The big million-selling "Georgy Girl" song by The Seekers is grand. Redgrave won some "Best Actress" consideration, though the consensus winner for 1966 was clearly Elizabeth Taylor, who was even more large and unattractive in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Bates and Mr. Mason received some "Oscar" and "Golden Globe" consideration of their own, and Ms. Rampling's perversely entertaining characterization should have.******* Georgy Girl (6/66) Silvio Narizzano ~ Lynn Redgrave, Alan Bates, James Mason, Charlotte Rampling

Syl I do have complaints about the film but Lynn Redgrave's portrayal of outcast, Georgina better known as Georgy to her friends and family is absolutely wonderful. Lynn was truly a wonderful actress in film, stage, and television. In this film, she actually steals the spotlight from everybody else. Charlotte Rampling is also wonderful as her sister, Meredith. Bill Owen is great in his role as Georgy's father. We see little of Rachel Kempson, the lady of the house. Sir Alan Bates and James Mason play the men who entice Georgy's affections. The film is a British cinema classic of it's time and era. The cast is first rate but the writing could have been better as well. I kind of feel like the ending was a bit vague regarding her future and happiness. This film was really Lynn's best performance. She shattered the myth about the shy girl by making her multi-dimensional and alive. She is missed today and will always be.

moonspinner55 Marvelous film, an extension of the British kitchen-sink dramas from earlier in the decade (but with a friskier spirit), introduced audiences to Vanessa Redgrave's kid sister, Lynn (in an Oscar-nominated performance). She's Georgina, a too-tall, plain and frumpy, kissless clown, a nursery school teacher who plays second-fiddle to her more beautiful flat-mate--and harbors a crush on her pal's sexy boyfriend in the bargain. While dodging the advances of her father's wealthy employer, Georgina also serves as nursemaid to her roommate when she becomes pregnant, never dreaming of the circumstances to follow. From Margaret Forster's novel, which she co-adapted with Peter Nichols, the film is visually alive, stylish and skittering about with "free and easy" abandon (yet with moral choices and a sobering heart at its center). Redgrave is nothing short of fabulous here; her "Georgy" is often slumped over sulking, an easy mark with little sense of humor--she's either completely inflexible or terribly over-eager. The writing is so clever and enticing for everyone on-screen that the supporting characters tend to upstage Redgrave (and, indeed, her moods are exasperating near the end), but Lynn is a wonderful presence. Also excellent: Charlotte Rampling as pregnant Meredith (who gets the film's most viciously funny lines), Alan Bates as her devilish lover, and James Mason as the older man who is the first to harbor a fancy for our heroine. A delightful bit of comedy-drama, one of the few from this era not to use 'mod' touches to set the time and place. It is as fresh and breezy today as in 1966. *** from ****
