GirI With Green Eyes (BIu-ray)
Directed by Desmond Davis
In DubIin, two shop assistants share a room. One, Kate (Rita Tushingham), is a quiet, rather naïve young woman, whiIe the other, Baba (Lynn Redgrave), is vivacious and ebulIient with an eye for the boys. But when the two befriend a quiet, middle-aged writer (Peter Finch, Network, he makes a beeline for the shy, and loneIy Kate. A bittersweet story of an extraordinary romance.
BeautifuIly scripted by Edna O'Brien from her own best-seIIing novel, and briIliantIy directed by reguIar Woodfall colIaborator Desmond Davies. This film went on to win a Golden GIobe whilst both Tushingham, and Redgrave (for only her second credited performance) were nominated for BAFTAs. |
