A classic sixties film!
By a customer from Leicestershire , 29 Jun 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
I've seen this film a few times and really enjoy it. Although it's black and white, it captures the feel of the sixties really well, and there is an all star cast, each giving a good performance. I think the ending of the film is also something of a surprise, as the life of the main character (played by Redgrave) does not turn out how you would expect it to. Well worth watching!- Was this review helpful to you?

(6)Odd but interesting
By a customer from Bristol uk , 06 Oct 2010A rather odd film, but not without its merits. Lyn Redgrave is very good as the frumpy main character,
although I am suprised she attracted an Oscar nomination. I did wonder how much she identified with her character, as she must have felt overshadowed at times by her beautiful sister vanessa. Rampling and James Mason are also very good. Alan Bates overdoes his Jack the Lad character to an irritating extent. Some wonderful loaction shots around Maida Vale. Definitely worth viewing, especially if you like British sixties films.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hey there, boring girl
By Bribaba (146 reviews) from London , 26 Aug 2010This has aged terribly and nowhere moreso than in the performances.Lynn Redgrave's Georgy might have once been admired for her pluck, but now she just annoys. Alan Bates as the mod-about-town is laughable, and even James Mason looks way out of the place as the northern would-be sugar daddy.
There's no sense of period, apart from Bates' unfortunate dress sense, as there is very little shot on location. The direction shows little consistency, varying between farcical comedy and drama. The only plus point is Charlotte Rampling swanning around in Mary Quant dresses.- Was this review helpful to you?

strange...........
By a customer from East Sussex , 29 Apr 2007I love Brit films of the sixties...but I didn't enjoy this, I found it quite bizarre really and like I didn't really get the point...if there was one. It made a kind of odd attempt at being a comedy...but never quite pulled it off.- Was this review helpful to you?

Slightly soppy
By Wobblo (11 reviews) from lavenham , 29 Sep 2005Alan Bates would have been better in a stage production; you get the feeling he is constantly looking to the wings for his cue for the next line. Redgrave however is very confident and seems to relish being the dumpy frumpy character George. Shot in crisp black and white it is great to pick out the old London landmarks in the 60s. Holds up well.- Was this review helpful to you?
