I must have watched Gregory's Girl when it was shown as a double feature with Chariots of Fire.
The thinking must have been with the distributors that both movies were about sports.
Well Gregory's Girl is about Dorothy (Dee Hepburn) a pretty teenager who wins a place at her high school football team.
The coach felt that the team needed a shake up after their losing streak but a female forward was not in the forefront of his mind.
Gregory (John Gordon Sinclair) the gawky lanky goalie immediately gets the hots for Dorothy.
Gregory and his mates have all reached that awkward age. Teenage boys obsessed with sex and have no girlfriends. Two of them persuade themselves to go to Caracas on the basis that the women outnumber the men.
For Gregory who summons up the courage to ask Dorothy out for a date. He discovers that someone close to him reallys wants to be his girl.
The word charming was the overused term that describes Bill Forsyth's Scottish movie about teenagers looking for love. It benefitted from sweet naturalistic performances from its young cast.
It had a quirky tinge, like the boy in a penguin suit wandering about the school. It was ahead of its time regarding female footballers.
It struck a chord with incompetent spotty teenagers who get blanked by pretty girls.
Gregory's Girl is an endearing movie with a slight story aimed at British teenagers.
