GEORGY GIRL (1966) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Silvio Narizzano
Lynn Redgrave, James Mason, Alan Bates,
Charlotte Rampling, Bill Owen, Claire Kelly
A mod, kitchen-sink comedy starring Redgrave as a big-boned, big-hearted girl who struggles and somehow triumphs, despite her bitch of a flatmate, her bastard of a boyfriend, and the smug, wealthy patron who wants to make her his mistress. Notable for its black-and-white starkness and blithe cynicism. (Charlotte Rampling's approach to motherhood is as funny as it is appalling.) Redgrave's signature role.
