Georgina (Lynn Redgrave) is a carefree and childlike 22-year-old who finds more joy in her relationships with children than with the adults in her life. Her parents' employer, James Leamington (James Mason), proposes marriage, but Georgy avoids giving him an answer, as the idea of romance confuses her. When Georgy finds herself the caretaker of a baby girl, she seeks to find a way to shoulder the new responsibility while maintaining her childlike innocence.

Pauline Kael The New Republic 09/19/2023
Even that sense of discomfort, of puzzlement, evaporates, because it is all made trivial -- Georgy’s pain as well as her bright remarks. Go to Full Review
Wendy Michener Maclean's Magazine 06/27/2019
Georgy Girl is from the life's-a-giggle school of comedy, and Lynn Redgrave larks about non-stop, exhibiting a talent for mimicry with overtones of Joyce Grenfell. Go to Full Review

B
A charming comedy reflecting the mores of the 1960s swinging London, Georgy Girl has not dated particularly well, but the acting is good, particularly Lynn Redgrave in the lead and James Mason in the supporting role. Go to Full Review

W. W. W Jan 10 Alan Bates had a hillarious performance, Lynn Redgrave too See more Russ G 11/14/2022 A rather depressing movie so if you thought it would be light comedy based on the upbeat title tune, you're in for a rough ride. Looking at it objectively, the majority of the British population had it pretty rough for decades; few Americans know that there was still FOOD RATIONING well into the 1950's, as the former empire had collapsed and the nation was dead broke. There weren't U-boats torpedoing convoys of supply ships, just not enough foreign exchange to pay for food imports. If America's working class had it tough, our British cousins had it tougher. Watch it if you must but don't tell me I didn't warn you. See more 12/05/2021 A wonderful exposition of an Age of Innocence that was about to be torn asunder. See more 05/07/2021 A disappointment to me. I didn’t think it was funny. Could have been really good. See more steve d 07/18/2020 I thought the story dragged. See more 06/05/2019 Wonderful flick and iconic of its time. Yes its dated but all films become dated. For anyone able to see deeper, this is still a beautiful film. The precursor to so many others (Muriel’s Wedding). Redgrave is moving and tremendous. Bates is also in top form. The people they play never gets dated. Of course the song makes it all worthwhile too. See more Read all reviews
