Synopsis for
Georgy Girl (1966)

Georgy (Lynn Redgrave) seems to be heading for spinsterhood: She is well past the average marrying age, is overweight and frumpy, and her parents have low expectations of her. However, Georgy's natural ability and empathy with children make her shine. Her father's boss (James Mason) is stuck in a loveless marriage with a sickly wife (Rachel Kempson) and thinks he has found a lonely woman in Georgy whom he can set up as his mistress. Some of the most clever scenes are where Georgy successfully stiff-arms Mr. Leamington and keeps him at bay. She is at her most vulnerable juxtaposed with her pretty roommate, Meredith (Charlotte Rampling), a tramp who has had many boyfriends and abortions. When Meredith turns up pregnant once again and decides to have the baby, Georgy's path in life becomes clear to even Georgy, despite a coming-of-age detour with Meredith's boyfriend-cum-husband Jos (Alan Bates).
