Georgy Girl is a bittersweet
comedy drama about Georgy (
Lynn Redgrave), a slightly overweight, working-class virgin in her early twenties who shares an apartment with the gorgeous, promiscuous
Meredith (
Charlotte Rampling).
Georgy has never been the subject of the desire for any man until the wealthy, married employer of her family,
James Leamington (
James Mason) (for whom her parents work as servants) decides that he would like her for a mistress. Shortly afterward, the unmarried
Meredith becomes pregnant and introduces
Georgy to the father,
Jos (
Alan Bates).
Georgy and
Jos fall in love. Although Meredith initially wants to give the child up for adoption, she agrees to let
Georgy act as surrogate mother. Meanwhile,
James - whose wife unexpectedly dies -- has also indicated that he wants to marry her. As the film approaches its denouement,
Georgy is faced with a tough call: should she stay single and keep the child, marry
James and keep the baby, or marry
Jos? We won't divulge the ending here, but the finale is a heartbreaker.
Georgy Girl was a tremendously popular film upon its 1966 release, as was the
Seekers' catchy title song.
