Absolutely Charming Film. October 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I remember seeing "Geordie" with my parents in England when the film was first released in 1955. I was just a kid, but I never forgot it. It's one of those films that leaves you with a warm glow inside. It was a big hit in the UK, and deservedly so. I believe the film was entitled "Wee Geordie" for the North American audience.

In the highlands of Scotland, a young boy, Geordie, is teased by other children (and even adults who should know better) for being small. Even his best friend, a young girl named Jean, unwittingly makes him feel tiny. So he sends away for a body-building course offered by a Mr. Samson in London. Over the next few years, he follows the course instructions religiously and grows up to be a Scottish Hercules ! Geordie is "wee" no more ! At the same time, his preoccupation with training has caused a strain on his friendship with Jean, now an attractive young woman. With the encouragement of the local Laird, Geordie enters the Olympic Games in Melbourne--he has become very proficient with the hammer throw--but, while "down under" complications arise that may adversely affect life back home, and his relationship with Jean.

The film is full of wonderful performances--Alastair Sim is a born scene-stealer as the bird-loving and very eccentric Laird--Norah Gorsen is just right as feisty Jean--Francis De Wolff is hilarious as Samson--but, as Geordie, Bill Travers is--in a word--unforgettable. Mr. Travers went on to make other films--"Born Free" was probably the most famous one--but if ever there was a role that he was born to play it was the stubborn, naive but thoroughly charming Geordie.

After so long, I am delighted that "Geordie" has been released on DVD. I had no problems with the quality--full screen--colour--enhanced sound--the gorgeous Scottish scenery is a huge plus with this film.

I am thrilled to add this film to my collection. After so many years, "Geordie" has lost none of its magic--a quiet, irresistable gem from Britain's golden age. Finally, for you readers with even the smallest drop of Scottish blood in your veins, you will get a very special feeling as you watch a movie that is like a breath of fresh, highland air !

Oh yes--what do you call a male and a female badger ? Order your copy of "Geordie" and find out !
