Girl with Green Eyes (1964)

Art house film tells simple tale of a naive young Irish women’s relationship with an older man. Rita Tushingham is endearing as the young grocery clerk, recently graduated from Catholic school and full of romantic ideas garnered from books. Peter Finch is good as the world weary and intellectual older man, who finds a brief respite with this young “fawn” in the middle of a long complicated relationship with his sometimes wife. Smart and reflective captures to very different perspectives on life as prismoid through the May-December romance. Honest ending.
