Girl with Green Eyes
Rita Tushingham’s eyes, enormous and tantalizing on screen, capture the mood of Edna O’Brien’s partially autobiographical novel The Lonely Girl (adapted in 1964 as Girl with Green Eyes) with her moody longing, adolescent neediness and endearing naiveté. Following her success starring in A Taste of Honey , she was perfect for the role of Kate as a country, convent girl new to Dublin and enthralled by an older man, Eugene, played with irresistible charm by Peter Finch. Lynn Redgrave in her first major role before Georgy Girl, is her irrepressible, talkative, flirty friend who steamrollers through life, in contrast to Kate who falters. She is too young and too much for Eugene. Filmed in black and white, the story unfolds through Kate’s eyes, those eyes that fixate and demand that you care. UK 1964 (91 minutes)
