We just laughed and laughed. And we loved the ruses Birdy pulled to get out of marrying those oh so dumb men. This film is just full of a huge love of life.
A real joy. In an age when films (even comedies) often follow such standard formulas this film is a true original.
And it's so good that the heroine isn't there because of her beauty. Just just a bright, vivacious 14 year old girl who doesn't want to be sold off into a life of wifehood when men were the bosses (often they still are) and women were possessions.
I am definitely going to watch Catherine Called Birdy again and probably again and again.
And just in case you are wondering, it's a fun watch for men too. I should know.
