StudioCanal have sent us a brand new trailer for the new restoration of director John Schlesinger's Darling (1965), starring starring Julie Christie, Dirk Bogarde, Laurence Harvey, Roland Curram, and Alex Scott. The release will be available for purchase on May 30.
Synopsis: Winner of three Academy Awards and four BAFTA's including Best Actress for
Julie Christie, Darling is the story - based on fact - of a goodtime-girl of the era.
She's a freelance female who moves from bed to bed on the presumption that fidelity
means having only one man in it at a time,and opportunistically bends her ambitions
to take advantage of whatever (or whoever) the moment offers her.
There are three men in her life, each of whom willingly or involuntarily helps her on her
way to the top: Dirk Bogarde plays a TV interviewer, an honest man striving to tell
illusion from reality; Laurence Harvey, an advertising executive, totally cynical about
manipulating society's values; and Roland Curram, a gay magazine photographer
battening parasitically on glossy society. There is also a 'fourth man' - the one whom
Darling marries, only to find herself a prisoner of the smart world she has conquered.
