It seems incongruous that producers would have originally wanted Vanessa Redgrave for the title role in 1966's Georgy Girl because sister Lynn seemed an absolute perfect fit and, indeed, ended up making it her breakthrough role. The film co-starred James Mason, Alan Bates, Charlotte Rampling and, in a small role, Redgrave's mother, Rachel Kempson. It was a huge hit in the UK but an even bigger one in the United States, much to the relief of Columbia Pictures who had sweated the young, unknown leads, the avant-garde shooting style of Canadian director Silvio Narizzano and some risque subject matter.
Dan and Vicky give their impressions of this counter culture classic while also touching on William Friedkin's controversial gay thriller Cruising, TV's Scream Queens, riding the New York City subway during Comic Con, Connie Stevens and why Dan needs to see a therapist!
FunikiJam everyone! And if you want to know what that means, you'll have to listen to Hot Date with Dan and Vicky #14. It's Groovy man.
