Georgy Girl
rating: 5
Distinctive black comedy has Georgy, a free spirit with a self-image problem, surrounded by somewhat pathetic, bizarre characters: Meredith's beauty can't conceal the soul of a witch; Jos is a loveable, overgrown child; and Mason's character seems like a rather lonely, leering fellow, though endowed with real affection for Georgy. Still, the film's ambiguity is intended- and it's a large part of its charm. A fascinating, highly original ride, with terrific performances and a vivid sense of London in the swinging sixties. Catchy title tune by The Seekers.

Hey there Georgy Girl or Lynn Girl
rating: 4
Georgy Girl is one of those off beat British cultural comedies from 1960's. Georgy is a young girl at ends with her world. She wants to be one of those free spirited youth but just doesn't fit in with the group she wants to be a part of.
Her father is a butler and his boss (James Mason) has his eye on the young frumpy Georgy. She sees the advantage of being good to him but wants the free spirit life. She rooms with the sultry and sexy Meredith (Charlotte Rampling). Meredith lives for the moment but when she gets pregnant, things change.
Joe (Alan Bates), the father, moves in with Meredith and Georgy stays on as the nanny. But Meredith grows tired of being a mother and being tied down to one man and leaves. Georgy stays on and Joe realizes that Georgy is the special girl.
This was Lynn Redgrave and Alan Bates' breakthrough film. While Redgrave would never recapture this success, Bates caught the eye of a number of directors including Ken Russell and John Schlessinger.
