"Georgy Girl": what an amazing cast and

4.235.200.180

what a surprisingly excellent movie that has aged very well, contrary to my expectations.
Charlotte Rampling shows her great promise: achingly desirable and beautiful---and one of the greatest bitches ever portrayed on celluloid (right up there w/Bette Davis in "Of Human Bondage").
James Mason is...well, he's non-pareil to me.
Lynn Redgrave gives a sensitive performance in a very difficult role that a lesser actress could have made melodramatic or cutesy.
And that brings me to the weak point: Alan Bates. He has always seemed a bit...effeminate to me. Something about the over the top eye make-up and that sibillant in his voice. Now, he's "cutesy," and that's too bad. See Michael Caine in "Alfie" for the same character done by a master.
