Product Description:
A beautiful but amoral model sleeps her way to the top of the london fashion scene at the height of the swinging sixties. Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 09/21/2004 Starring: Julie Christie Dirk Bogarde Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Nr

Amazon.com essential video:
Julie Christie's miracle year of 1965 (she was also in Doctor Zhivago) was capped by a best-actress Oscar® for this sardonic take on Swinging London. Looking about as gorgeous as women get, Christie ascends the ladder of social success, trampling everybody in her path--an ascent that allows writer Frederic Raphael and director John Schlesinger to slash away at the morally bankrupt world that would enable such a person to triumph. Cynics might suggest that Schlesinger's approach, rife with the experiments of New Wave filmmaking, is nearly as empty and showy as the world it describes... which may be why this movie seems more dated than, say, Richard Lester's films from the '60s. Still, with Christie getting generous and suave support from two of the top British stars of the day, Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey, Darling remains a watchable missive from a volatile era. --Robert Horton

- A real Princess
I missed this movie when it came out:
the resulting character is sort of a cross between Grace Kelly and Princess Diana. For men this blond bomb shell is a disaster.
She pretty much has her way with life,
and finds that what she thought she wanted wasn't exactly what she really needed?
The two male actors are great and I think better than the star Julie Christie. The screen play is right on and seems to nail
down this sort of popular woman.

- "It should be so easy to be happy,shouldn't it?"
"Darling" was Julie Christie's breakthrough in 1965,along with the epic "Doctor Zhivago." In "Darling", Christie is Diana Scott, a sophisticated London model. She's flighty and dreamy, always hoping for happiness and love. First, she shacks up with a married man, the suave Dirk Bogarde; later, she falls for the slimy playboy Laurence Harvey. In the meantime, she befriends a gay photographer Malcolm and becomes an Italian princess. She tries to become Catholic to please her princely husband. Alone ... Read More

- everybody's darling, at any age
it is always a pleasure to watch and to re-watch julie christie in any movie she chooses to do. watching this early film in juxtaposition with AWAY FROM HER reminds us that Cleopatra was not the only woman whose beauty can not be withered by age. when the beauty evolves from intelligence, it is always with her and with us. we all are that much richer for having been in her presence.

- Running on Empty in the Swingin' Sixties
"Darling", the brittle mid-1960s cult classic, was written by Frederick Raphael (he won an Oscar for the script) and directed by John Schlesinger. Like a handful of other interesting black and white films from this era written by authors like Raphael and Alan Sillitoe, "Darling" has dated somewhat, although not in a way that devalues its superb qualities. Think, for example, of "Morgan!", "Georgy Girl", and "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner". Although these are all very different films, ... Read More

I bought this movie because I couldn't find it to rent and I wanted to see it. I was amazed at how it has stood the test of time. Besides the great performance Julie Christie gives in this movie, Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey were wonderful too! I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a picture of the Swinging Sixties in London.
