Georgy Girl

Director: Silvio Narizzano

1966 / 99min / 35mm

Lynn Redgrave vaulted to stardom in her Oscar-nominated role as Georgina “Georgy” Parkin, a virginal 22-year-old wholly out-of-step with the changing mores of Swinging London who finds herself in a dilly of a pickle when she’s pursued by both the young lover of pregnant flatmate Charlotte Rampling—dressed by Mary Quant—and her father’s well-to-do employer (James Mason, putting on a Scottish accent). “Determinedly kinky” fun, per The New Yorker’s Pauline Kael, featuring an absolute earworm of a title song by Tom Springfield and Jim Dale.
