“Mix in some light comedy and a melancholy ending and you have a film that…has stayed in the minds of those who have seen it. It makes you go ‘Aw...’ as it questions the benefits of a sexually liberated society where love will still complicate matters.”
– Graeme Clark, thespinningimage.co.uk
“Reed is quite extraordinary…even better is Hayley Mills, who manages a performance that is both subtle and, in its own way, very moving.”
– Jeremy Richey, mooninthegutter.blogspot.com
The great satirist/writer/director Jonathan Miller’s only venture into cinema, Take a Girl Like You (1970) is an adaptation of the Kingsley Amis novel about a virginal young woman, Jenny (Hayley Mills, in one of her first “adult” roles), and the men who pursue her, particularly Patrick (Oliver Reed), who finds that deeper feelings may overtake his genial caddishness. Also starring Noel Harrison, John Bird, and Sheila Hancock, and featuring a score by Stanley Myers.
