Georgy Girl (1966)

Georgina is a frumpy young woman with a gorgeous roommate. She’s never been kissed and the only one to cast an eye her way is the master of the house in which her parents serve.

The way that Georgy navigated her life was interesting: comfortable with who she is, but unimpressed by the options that come with being less-than-stunning. She ultimate “gets what she always wanted” (as the horrible theme song chirps over the end credits) but I was extremely disappointed both on her behalf and for the man she eventually marries.  Couldn’t she have gotten the prize without ruining her life and the life of someone who loved her in the process? What a sour way to end her story.
