Girl With Green Eyes (Blu-ray)

In Dublin, two shop assistants share a room. One, Kate (Rita Tushingham), is a quiet, rather naïve young woman, while the other, Baba (Lynn Redgrave), is vivacious and ebullient with an eye for the boys. But when the two befriend a quiet, middle-aged writer (Peter Finch, Network, he makes a beeline for the shy, and lonely Kate. A bittersweet story of an extraordinary romance.Beautifully scripted by Edna O'Brien from her own best-selling novel, and brilliantly directed by regular Woodfall collaborator Desmond Davies. This film went on to win a Golden Globe whilst both Tushingham, and Redgrave (for only her second credited performance) were nominated for BAFTAs.Special features:Presented in High DefinitionRita Tushingham on Girl With Green Eyes (2018, 7 mins): the actor recalls her time on the filmFilm Poetry: Desmond Davis (2018, 24 mins): director Desmond Davis discusses his career, including his work on WoodfallFood For a Blluuusssshhhhh (1959, 31 mins): surrealist-influenced student film by Free Cinema pioneer Elizabeth RussellThe Peaches (1964, 16 mins): coming-of-age fantasy by Walter LassallyIllustrated booklet with new writing by Melanie Williams and Michael Brooke, plus full film credits
