Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLynn Redgrave's Best Actress Oscar nomination for this movie coincided with sister Vanessa's similar nomination for "Morgan! (1966)." Such a coincidence had occurred only once before when sisters Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland, respectively vied for the Best Actress Oscar for "Suspicion (1941)" and "Hold Back the Dawn (1941)." Fontaine was the only winner of the four actresses in this particular curiosity.
- GoofsIn the early scene at the piano where Georgy's father has brought her a dress to wear to a birthday party, she's wearing glasses when he starts to say, "Oh, please yourself," but not wearing them before he finishes the line.

Featured review
Fine drama with comical overtones
Alan Bates' eccentric performance outshines in this interesting and whimsical film. It is certainly an odd mix of drama and comedy as Bates never seems to act seriously around what essentially is a perverse story with cutting moments, particularly Charlotte Rampling's performance in the hospital after her baby is born. Redgrave is perfect as the dowdy and shy Georgie - like her description in the book, she appears plain but strangely attractive. Mason again appears as the downtrodden anti-hero, never quite getting what he wants at the end of the film - in this respect he always seems typecast. There's always something I like about these B/W 1960's films with their gritty London location filming and this one is no exception.
