One of the defining films of the 1960s, Silvio Narizzano s adaptation of Margaret Foster's 1965 novel stars Lynn Redgrave in an Oscar-nominated role as the put-upon teenager Georgy Parkin. Awkward and full of self-doubt, Georgy finds herself forever just outside of the 'Swinging Sixties' London life she craves.

Marked by a wonderfully warm and appealing central performance from Redgrave, and with its superb supporting cast including Charlotte Rampling (Death in Venice, The Night Porter), Alan Bates (A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, Women in Love) and the great James Mason (The Reckless Moment, Age of Consent, The Deadly Affair), Georgy Girl captures the spirit of the era and boasts one of the all-time great film theme tunes.

Indicator premieres Silvio Narizzano’s adaptation of Margaret Foster’s 1965 novel "Georgy Girl" on Blu-ray. According to the credits in the included booklet, "Sony's HD remaster, supervised by Rita Belda was the source of this Indicator edition". This Blu-ray disc is dual-layered and the 1.85:1 High Definition image is held up by a maxed out bitrate. The film has a thick grain to it, and the image can be a little soft, lacking in detail. Contrast levels show a modest range of blacks, with certain detail seeming to be lost in shadows, which tend to be crushed into a singular black.

The film's original mono audio was remastered at the same time as the film, according to the accompanying booklet. This is a 24-bit 1.0 linear PCM Audio track. The score is thanks to the late Alexander Faris (Upstairs, Downstairs) but the real memorable piece of music here is Jim Dale and Tom Springfield's theme song "Georgy Girl" performed by The Seekers. There are optional English subtitles on this Region Free Blu-ray from Indicator.

Indicator include a handful of extras on this Blu-ray, starting with another fabulous commentary from Diabolique magazine’s editor-in-chief Kat Ellinger. Following this is "The Guardian Interview with Charlotte Rampling", a 59-minute archival audio recording of a career-spanning interview conducted by Christopher Cook at London’s National Film Theatre in 2001. "The Tempo of the Time" is a brand new 7-minute interview with author, playwright and co-screenwriter Peter Nichols. "A Wonderful Sense of Freedom" is a 28-minute interview with editor John Bloom discussing his work on "Georgy Girl". "Georgy’s Geography" is a brief, 3-minute interview with art director Tony Woollard. "Going for a Song" spends 5-minutes with lyricist Jim Dale and editor John Bloom, the two revealing the origins of Georgy Girl’s famous theme song. Also included is the film's original trailer and radio spot. An image gallery is also here, as is a limited edition exclusive 40-page glossy booklet with a new essay by Leanne Weston and Howard Maxford on the film’s making, an overview of contemporary critical responses, and film credits.

Georgy Girl is a sharp take on the 60s, and the eponymous character's struggle to fit in. The fact that scenes seem quite dated, only enhances the isolation of Lynn Redgrave's character. Indicator have a nice Blu-ray package here, though one could hope for a better film-level restoration down the line.
