Unremarkable
25 February 2021
Of its time, but the casting for Dublin in the 1960s was way off. Casting Rita Tushingham and Lynne Redgrave as Irish just didn't gel. Peter Finch is Australian, this was clear from his first words, but no mention is made of him hailing from the Antipodes. The relationship between Eugene and Kate started off interestingly but the acting let it down. The relationship was just not believable and the love scenes (kissing) were embarrassingly inadequate and poorly acted. The high spot was Lynne Redgrave who stole the film as Baba. I wonder if this role got her the one as Georgy Girl a couple of years later because essentially the characters were the same.
