The opening scene in "Darling" was an all too accurate prediction of how society would become. Then, there's Julie Christie as Diana Scott, a ravishing but ruthless model who quite literally will stop at nothing to make it to the top. Unfortunately for her (and everyone else), the world of Swinging London proves to be not quite what she expected.
"Darling" hit two birds with one stone, launching the careers of both John Schlesinger and Julie Christie (although he had previously cast her in a supporting role in "Billy Liar"). Maybe it wasn't the greatest movie ever, but it did offer a different view of fame from what everyone expects going into the famous world. I guess that life is like that sometimes!
