Review of Girly

Girly (1970)
5/10
I like the word "brecky"
23 January 2014
Freddie Francis's "Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly" (released as "Girly" in North America) has a neat premise and some fun scenes but is mostly too weird to be generally appealing. It's about a group of people pretending to be a family so that they can lure men to their house and force them to participate in the game.

Early in the movie the "mother" mentions breakfast and calls it "brecky". I remember that in "Yellow Submarine" one of the Beatles uses that word. Here that's the best line. There are some other good parts but overall I wouldn't recommend the movie.

PS: Pat Heywood, who plays the "nanny", played the nurse in Franco Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet".
