I know many people think highly of Alan Bates' performance in Georgy Girl but his hyperactive performance irritated me throughout. Lynn Redgrave is wonderful, James Mason - while underused - can do no wrong and Charlotte Rampling manages to find some shades in her underwritten queen b--ch, but Bates... I wanted to throw something at the screen every time he blazed onto it.

Best thing about this dated although likeable film - that infectious theme song, one of the catchiest ever. 6/10
