Julie Christie is anything but Darling in this fun and bitchy film...., 8 May 1999
Author: obie-4 from Azores

Hip, sophisticated comedy/drama about the lives and loves of a morally-challenged, beautiful young model and actress. By the end of the film, she has achieved the success she has sought, but at the price of dignity and true happiness. Julie Christie is simply enchanting in the title role. One of the first films to be made after the lifting of the archaic Production Code, the film matter-of-factly portrays adultery, abortion and homosexuality almost as if it were making up for lost time. Crisp, bitchy, veddy British dialogue and sparkling direction by Schlesinger (may be better than MIDNIGHT COWBOY, IMHO).
