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.
Upon its release, Georgy Girl found success both critically and at the box office, earning Academy Award nominations for Best Actress (Lynn Redgrave), Best Supporting Actor (James Mason), Best Cinematography – Black-and-White, and Best Song for its catchy title track.
A showcase of kinetic direction, crisp black and white photography, pop music, urban realism, social issues, and contemporary attitudes towards sex.

Georgy Girl is from the life’s-a-giggle school of comedy, and Lynn Redgrave larks about non-stop.
