JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

zetes Very good British film from the '60s starring Lynn Redgrave as the titular Georgy, a homely young woman struggling to find true love in London. Her easiest choice would be her father's middle-aged boss (James Mason), the only man who seems honestly attracted to her, but obviously this option is pretty icky (ickier that he's married and wants her to sign a contract to be his mistress). Her second best choice is her roommate's boyfriend (Alan Bates; the roommate is played by Charlotte Rampling), to whom she is attracted and with whom she has a pretty nice friendship going already. To boot, Rampling treats Bates like crap. It's rare to find a film dealing with a protagonist who isn't model-pretty, and Georgy is a lovable heroine. The film isn't without its flaws. It's not as funny as it wishes it were. Bates, honestly, is kind of hard to stand here. You are not charming, dude, and get your giant cigar out of everyone's face!

SnoopyStyle Georgina Parkin (Lynn Redgrave) is a chubby frumpy well-educated outgoing talented young lady. Her parents are live-in servants to rich businessman James Leamington (James Mason) who starts to have romantic feelings for her who he had known as a child. He's in a loveless marriage and wants Georgy to sign a contract as his mistress. She lives with beautiful flirtatious Meredith (Charlotte Rampling) who's dismissive of Georgy. Meredith finds that she's pregnant and figures marrying her boyfriend Jos Jones (Alan Bates) as something different. He moves in with Meredith and Georgy. James' wife dies.Lynn Redgrave is adorably engaging as the chubby girl of the two. She is hilarious and perfectly reasonable why everybody loves her. Also she's so wacky as a character. It's a slice of swinging 60s London and the changing of the times. The rest of the characters are pretty horrible people which does tend to make the tone uneven. The performances are great. It's not all a light frolic. However there is nothing funnier than when James shows Georgy the contract for the first time.

edwagreen Was Lynn Redgrave running some sort of school upstairs in James Mason's home? Am shocked that Mason was nominated for best supporting actor here as his part called for him to be a stiff, awkward middle-aged married Lothario with romantic designs on the very frumpy-looking Lynn Redgrave. The nomination should have gone to Alan Bates who was sensational as the free-spirited boyfriend of Charlotte Rampling, who unfortunately married the wrong woman here, but of course that sets off the events of this 1966 film.Far from a beauty, Georgy had so much to give to others as she desired love and acceptance. Never understood how she could be the room-mate of the egocentric and very nasty Charlotte Rampling.Rampling should have snagged a best supporting actress nomination for her role, especially her ambivalence after giving birth.

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
