"Isn't it awfully?"
Frederic Raphael's dissection of the life of immature, aimless young woman in swinging London, Paris and Italy, played by Julie Christie. Haven't actually inhabited this time period or these circles, yet it all seems horribly familiar, somehow.
With: Dirk Bogarde, Laurence Harvey, Roland Curram, Jose Luis de Villalonga, many others.
Music by John Dankworth, nicely photographed and edited by Kenneth Higgins and Jim Clark. The latter reports that he and Schlesinger replaced a long opening scene at Lord's with a new opening that 'Freddy' didn't care to rewrite. The film wasn't received very well here but in the States won Oscars for Christie and Raphael.
