Darling movie julie christie3/29/2024 If this was moral turpitude, it did not look half-bad-especially as embodied by Julie Christie, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance. As for the hand-wringing Crowther prophesied, there was none of that, for even the most dyed-in-the-wool moralists were finding themselves having too much fun with this only mildly cautionary tale of a beautiful, capricious and ambitious young woman who casually drifts her way up the social scale from cover girl to Italian princess. When Darling debuted in 1965, Bosley Crowther of the New York Times remarked that director John Schlesinger had “made a film that will set tongues to wagging and moralists wringing their hands.” There was plenty of tongue-wagging over this satirical study of the professional rise and personal fall of a young British fashion model, but it all had to do with the excellence of Frederic Raphael’s script, the brilliance of Schlesinger’s direction, and the fine performances of a cast headed by veterans Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey and a rising young newcomer named Julie Christie.
