There's another Georgy deep inside

Title song at the opening of the movie.

What an incredibly catchy, yet shallow, sexist song.

The secret of life? A new hairstyle!

One of the great pop songs of the 60s.

And you obviously have never seen the movie so you don't know what happens when the song ends.

You should stop with the knee jerk shallow sexist comments.

It would have more poignant if Dion had given it to Mary.

Hardly!...I'll bet you LOVE that awful Lulu song as well.

R5 the lyrics are being quoted because it is a great pop song -nothing more, nothing less.

I was just a kid when this song first come out, and, although it had such a buoyant melody, I thought it was one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. I still do. Perhaps it was because Georgie was clearly on the outside looking in, a feeling I had being a young gay man, although I couldn't have out it in those words at the time.

BTW, Jim Dale was one of the writers of this song.

I love Charlotte Rampling in the hospital bed, with bouffant and nail file, rejecting her new baby like one of Dawn Davenport's tonier English friends.

God Rampling is great in this movie. Though I kind of think she was playing herself.

So did a lot of people. I think it was a cross she had to bear for a very long time.

Rampling doesn't have a reputation for being a bitch.

A girl on my school bus used to sing this song every morning, as well as "You Were on My Mind," by the Count 5. Her older sister was my sister's best friend and she used to cringe as we pelted her kid sister with our books and school bags.

Oops, it was the We Five, not the Count 5.

Yes, I was wondering what you were on about.

Lynn I'm sure came in a distant second to Liz Taylor for the Oscar for this. Lynn's best performance . Gods and Monsters pretty damn good too.

R3 women were happier back then when they were objectified and not told to be offended by everything. Women love and crave male attention (just like bottoms do.) It was only the ugly girls who weren’t getting any attention that convinced the rest that it was bad.

Did Jim Dale write the lyrics?

by Anonymousreply 22August 19, 2020 6:04 PM

Heterosexual women still love and crave male attention. Don't believe today's woke bullshit that they don't. They just don't like it when creeps do it. Then the attention is nauseating. And it's always been this way. Like forever.

Georgie girl is one of the few songs I loved as a kid that I still love today and haven't gotten sick of. And yes R3 is a moron and has never seen the film. It's wonderful.

I love the song's verses at the end of the film:

Who needs a perfect lover when you're a mother at heart?

That's all you wanted right from the start

(Well, didn't you?)

So haunting--one of the best bittersweet endings ever for a movie. The expressions on Redgrave's and Mason's faces say so much.

Judith Durham, the lead singer for The Seekers, had an unforgettable voice--so plangent.

I find it very sad that a woman of her size was considered fat. Were all females supposed to look like Twiggy? I'd forgotten that at that young age Lynn had a very pretty face.

by Anonymousreply 29August 19, 2020 6:19 PM

It's an amazing film. I always thought "Muriel's Wedding" owes so much to it since they are both about self-loathing women who are trying to find love and happiness in the world, and get the man they want only to find out he's not worth much. But Georgy to me is such a much more worthwhile person than Muriel--she wants to help other people, and isn't as superficial.

by Anonymousreply 30August 19, 2020 6:19 PM

Lynn didn't have a very pretty face. She was plain. She was ungainly. And she was talented.

I like this live version of Georgy Girl by The Seekers. I laughed when one of their fans screamed at 1:01.
