I am so sad that Judith Durham passed away at the age of seventy-nine this weekend. I have watched many tributes to this great lady. She has always brought a smile to my face when I listen to her voice. May she rest in peace. She truly is an angel.
I was familiar with this song for a long time and I always thought it sounded like a 1960s movie theme, so I knew it was a movie for a while too. But I surprised to find out it was a black and white film. I guess I always thought the song sounded colorful for lack of a better word.
Rejoice for Lynn ! she will always be part of London in the swinging sixties an example of a young girl with her own sense and morality and a kind heart. So glad you are at rest. We all miss you . Take care Georgy Girl
Lynn Redgrave, was a wonderful actress and will always be our Georgy Girl... We lost her way too soon. It was a tough year for this family losing two other members.. My heart goes out to them.. We will never see the likes of the 60s again, I was born in 1960, remember the late 60s.. besides the war times were so much better in the 60s and 70s... What has happened to us...? Our first car with a stereo radio was a 69 Pontiac Bonneville, recall this song playing going to Texas on vacation RIP Lynn
Judith got flak for leaving the group and not until years later did she realize what she had done and she felt guilty and made up it when they reunited.
Triple fantastic especially in the middle live version. She's so infectiously bouncy while hardly even moving much. And the quality of the voice obviously goes without saying. Go Judith.
What a beautiful song, and this movie along with "Darling", "Blow-Up", and "Alfie" capture what was a very exciting time in London. Gotta love the mid 60s!!!
Like the "alternative" or extended version of this song. Lyrics that obviously did feature on the single. Judith Durham, a voice like no other! Australia has truly lost a national treasure:
4:27 I allways loved that little smile she cracked when she asked him to "say it properly then.." Fun song, thank you for posting the montage , just makes you happy to listen to.
I've never seen a bad movie with a good ending. Maybe the happiest ending I have ever seen. I can't watch the whole thing anymore, but I find myself watching the ending over and over.
Judith strongly self-identified with the Georgy character. She had a near-fatal brain hemorrhage in 2013. Fortunately she survived. I sent her this song that composed itself in my head, to a very recognizable tune, after I met an Australian girl at an open mike night. I e-mailed it to Judith, and an aide replied that she was thrilled with it.
Hey there, Judith Durham Leading up The Seekers through the years You and all your mates gave us lots of fun And memories too - then suddenly Hey there, Judith Durham You had quite the nasty scare that May But your mates stood by you all the way And you pulled right through You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf More than a little bit Hey there, Judith Durham You had quite the rocky road ahead But you brought out all the strength you hid And, oh, what a change there's been The world has seen a new Judith Durham
I love the song "Georgy Girl" since I was a little boy, but I don't recall ever seeing the movie. I'm hearing lyrics by the Seekers on a song that I have loved all my life. It's weird, fascinating and cool all at the same time. Notice, at 2:29, The Seekers are singing their farewell concert, and they're singing GG very fast. They finished it in 2 minutes.Thanks for posting this great video! I'm always window shopping but never stopping to buy. I can relate to Georgy Girl. I'd be Georgy Boy lol
Wow, your rich Georgy Girl. I waen't expecting that. it's great to hear the original lyrics. and the middle part from '68. now that I know how it ends I want to see the movie. any one know where possibly for free on the net?
This is why I check first to see if someone else has posted what I plan on posting, which was merely the end of the film. I always loved the tune as a young'un in the 60's and just cracked up when it came on when I finally watched the film years later. Love the joy in the live performance. You have done a far finer job than I was going to, so thanks!
Both verisons should have been used in the musical..I mean the opening credits and closing one as well..the musical could have been a true piece of musical theater.
Maybe it's not quite that - the young lady in the song wants happiness, she has great potential. Never heard the last verse though which is interesting.
Hey there, Georgy girl Now you've got a future planned for you Tho he's not a dream come true At least he's a millionaire So don't despair You're rich Georgy girl
That's interesting, I'd never heard the original lyrics which are slightly different than the recorded version. (Hey there/Georgy Girl/Give yourself a treat like most girls do/Get another hairstyle too/And oh what a change there'd be..) When I think about the lyrics I'm not sure I like the sentiment though, its all about changing your appearance and I never thought I say that, I really like The Seekers.
When Judith left the group many fans were angered and shocked and many years later when she rejoined the group she felt some guilt over her leaving the group and she felt very guilty.
@Gingertappz , fyi, they released both the beginning credits and ending credits version on the 5 cd set "The Seekers Complete" (EMI 1995). However, the sound quality on the cd isnt any better than this posting.
On the one hand, I LOVED this movie, but on the other, the thought of James Mason, who, even then, was like 102 years old, chasing after 23-year old Lynn Redgrave was sort of icky.
Poor James he looks at his bride Georgy and then asks himself why the hell did I court georgina and marry her...I just made the biggest mistake and I'm gonna pay for it big time..what was I thinking??.
Poor James Mason..he looks over at his bride Georgy and asks why the hell did I court georgina and marry her?..I made the biggest mistake and I'm going to pay for it too.
@@robertn556 Actually, Part 2 was an encore to the last performance in 1968, which ended with "The Carnival Is Over". Athol phrased it: "I'm afraid that tonight the carnival really is over".

These B&W British films from the mid 1960's are completely unique in feel - they really evoke a time and place like few other films do.
I was familiar with this song for a long time and I always thought it sounded like a 1960s movie theme, so I knew it was a movie for a while too. But I surprised to find out it was a black and white film. I guess I always thought the song sounded colorful for lack of a better word.
Georgy Girl and To Sir, With Love are both classic movies with unforgettable theme songs sung by supremely talented singers.
Judith has the most wonderful voice of all time...!
Rejoice for Lynn ! she will always be part of London in the swinging sixties an example of a young girl with her own sense and morality and a kind heart. So glad you are at rest. We all miss you . Take care Georgy Girl
Will always love this movie...Lynn Redgrave was the greatest!!! She will be forever missed!!!!!!!!!!

What a wondeful voice Judith Durham has!
One of Englands best films of the 60's with a fantastic song to go with it. The film makes me smile through most of it.
Triple fantastic especially in the middle live version. She's so infectiously bouncy while hardly even moving much. And the quality of the voice obviously goes without saying. Go Judith.

what a wonderful film.who couldnt love georgie?now she belongs to the ages.
Beautiful Survivg Remnant of Presewred Memory from the 60s!
Oh, what memories this brings me of the 60's in London!
Like the "alternative" or extended version of this song. Lyrics that obviously did feature on the single. Judith Durham, a voice like no other! Australia has truly lost a national treasure:
It's Judith Durham and the Seekers--Athol Guy, Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley. Unique, irreplaceable sound...
I love this film and the Genre
"Who needs a perfect lover, when you're a mother at heart." Easily one of the most touching portrayals of mother love ever done in a film.
Essa música é um encanto, sensacional
RIP Lynn..may you rest in peace..thanks for all of the wonderrful memories
4:27 I allways loved that little smile she cracked when she asked him to "say it properly then.." Fun song, thank you for posting the montage , just makes you happy to listen to.
When James proposed to georgy girl.
Beautiful Judith. Rest In Peace.
79 yrs old Judith was when she passed away God bless you.
I've never seen a bad movie with a good ending. Maybe the happiest ending I have ever seen. I can't watch the whole thing anymore, but I find myself watching the ending over and over.
The end credits when Georgina married James.. sheesh poor James must wonder why I courted georgy and married her.i made a big mistake.
RIP Lynn. So wonderful!
Rest in peace, Judith Durham.
I love that video-I wish I had the DVD of Georgy Girl
I could always relate to this song, one of my favorites from the 60's. also love the movie!! thanks for making this video
He gave me the creeps in every movie..north by northwest, star is born, and his crowning glory, Lolita
The opening credits,the farewell concert,and the ending credits the Seekers classic song Georgy Girl.

Hey there, Judith Durham
Leading up The Seekers through the years
You and all your mates gave us lots of fun
And memories too - then suddenly
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the nasty scare that May
But your mates stood by you all the way
And you pulled right through
You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself
Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf
More than a little bit
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the rocky road ahead
But you brought out all the strength you hid
And, oh, what a change there's been
The world has seen a new Judith Durham

What a treat. Vintage.
Judith in heaven with Lynn Redgrave who was georgy girl in the film.
Thanks for sharing all three versions. The last one has always been my favorite, but not many know that it exists.
Opening credits and the closing credits when Georgy Girl Lynne Redgrave gets married.
@@martinpatrick1746 Yep! I love that movie.
Both verisons should have been used in the musical..I mean the opening credits and closing one as well..the musical could have been a true piece of musical theater.
Maybe it's not quite that - the young lady in the song wants happiness, she has great potential.
Never heard the last verse though which is interesting.
Hey there, Georgy girl
Now you've got a future planned for you
Tho he's not a dream come true
At least he's a millionaire
So don't despair
You're rich Georgy girl

Judith and Keith and Bruce and Athol all young and in their early 20s when they recorded the title song.
When Judith left the group many fans were angered and shocked and many years later when she rejoined the group she felt some guilt over her leaving the group and she felt very guilty.
Bill Owen played Georgy's father. You can see him left standing on the church steps with her mother who is holding the baby around 4:54
With Rachel Kempson, Lynn Redgrave's real-life mother, playing Ellen.
WOW
Great post!
Thanks.
Bill owen was also in Carry on Sergeant with william hartnell a.k.a. Dr. Who
RIP, Lynn.
Lynn Redgrave was in her early 20s when she started in the movie.
According to IMDB, turned 23 while filming.
It's Judith Durham, Lindaznyc. Check out her version of Danny Boy on RUclips. You'll love it.
Love it 😎😎😎
Bravo Grande
Looks like the last shot was too short, so they ran the film backwards - watch the confetti in the background falling then coming back up!
@mthivier ROFL "the thought of James Mason, who, even then, was like 102 years old" That's too funny!

R.I.P lynn redgrave
RIP
I’ve never been to London. Does it really have restrooms right on the street like that?
Who wouldn't marry James Mason?
Poor James Mason..he looks over at his bride Georgy and asks why the hell did I court georgina and marry her?..I made the biggest mistake and I'm going to pay for it too.
Bringing the baby was too much...I'm not going to be a father to that bratty kid.
43 years in my case
So was that her actual child? Never seen the movie, so I'm clueless.
No it was Meredith's (Charlotte Rampling's part) baby that she didn't want to raise. So Georgie raised it...
@@3prettyvacant Judith Durham and her husband Ron Edgeworth (1938-1994) never had children of their own, by choice.
This was the Seekers last performance as a group!
BYOKS no it wasn't their last performance! Check your facts out before you pass such an inaccurate comment!
