Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Lee Eisenberg 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".

lastliberal If you like your comedy with a decidedly quirky bent, then this is a film for you.Vanessa Howard is splendid as Girly, an obvious twenty-something that dresses and acts like a twelve year old schoolgirl.She lives with her brother, and mother, and nanny, and they are all certifiably bat-shite crazy.They two "children" lure homeless and hippies to the old crumbling mansion where they play "games." They must unquestionably participate or they are "sent to the angels," if you get my drift.The new friend (Michael Bryant) plots to turn the four of them against each other until he can find a way to escape.Director Freddie Francis won two Oscars for cinematography (Glory, Sons and Lovers) after directing many horror movies.

Coventry This little seen but uniquely original horror/black comedy effort has one of the most delightfully demented basic premises I've ever encountered. It's about a household of four completely bonkers people that live together in a large country estate without a fatherly figure. It's just Mumsy, the loyal nanny and the two adolescent children Sonny and Girly. They love each other very much and live their exemplar happy family role from early in the morning till late at night. The children occasionally lure "friends", who're actually complete strangers they picked up in the nearby park, back to the house. These people are initially treated as welcome guests, albeit so exaggeratedly hospitable that it becomes creepy, but in fact they're slowly being terrorized to death. The guests have to obey certain house rules, otherwise they are harshly punished. The new friend in room number two, however, is clever and manages to manipulate both Mumsy and Girly. "Girly" is a strange and unusual film for people with a strange and unusual sense of humor. I particularly found the conversations between Mumsy and nanny to be hilarious. They always knit when discussing the dear sweethearts of children and also always talk about themselves in the 3rd person, like "Mumsy thinks it is best you go to your room now". The most fantastic character of the bunch is obviously Girly, of course, as she a naughty 16-year-old who still sleeps in a cradle but doesn't feel to shy to cut off someone's head and boil it in a kettle. It's cute and crazy, but in a strange way also disturbing because these people definitely comes across as murderous, mad-raving maniacs at first sight. There don't seem to exist any taboos in this cinematic household; there's murder committed by children, sex with minors, etc… Moments after killing a human being with a bow and arrows, Sonny and Girly go back to playing with dolls and hobbling horses. "Girly" is adapted from a stage play, which is noticeable through the limited number of set pieces and characters. The emphasis here lies on the terrific acting performances and, of course, the multiple highlights of exquisite black comedy. The dialogs, grotesque situations and witty one-liners are unique, creative and almost impossible to describe. Take Girly's ingenious gag, for instance. She asks: "Do you know that boy Tony Chesnut?" and before the other person can reply, she stamps on his TOE, kicks him in the KNEE, hits him on the CHEST and smacks him in the NUTS. TO-NY-CHES-NUT; get it? Awesome! Freddie Francis directs with a lot more style and visual flair than you would expect in a raunchy and low- budgeted early 70's British exploitation flick. But then again, Francis was a talented director and an even more genius cinematographer. And finally, as some sort of epilogue, behold one last piece of terrific Girly poetry: Nasty Nanny ain't no goodChop her up for firewood When she's dead, boil her head Make it into Gingerbread!

possessionx about three years ago, my friend gave me a VHS which contained three films. One of them being "GIRLY". I was board one day so I threw it in My VCR, I watched the first two movies which were not too bad, but when girly came on I was really hooked. I actually rewound the picture and watched it a second time. I still remember soldier in the beginning of the movie. He is my favorite character. near the start of the picture, it's hilarious when girly gives him the flask and he takes it without question. Another one of my favorite parts of the movie is when girly sings the siamese national anthem. Anyway, Girly definitely is one of the best movies ever made. I would definitely rate it 10/10.
