Opening with a classing female motion associated with the 60's, we have the swinging of the main character, Georgy's (Lynn Redgrave), handbag. The upbeat music that introduces this scene reflects the character of Georgy and the boundless energy of what is to be introduced into the movie. The colourless image follows her down the street, the independence of this is a clear contrast from the other black and white films of the 50's. On arriving at a salon, we see the character of Georgy peer into a hair salon, which very much shows what many working class females were like at this time. The fact that we see the character is not like this can lead is to the assumption that she is not working class but middle class. Upon making the decision to get her hair styled, we see that she is conflicted with this decision, reflecting with the middle class morals that she has. However, we see that in making the decision she detaches herself of this lifestyle and accepts the hair cut, which could be a precursor to other decisions that will be made later on in the movie.
Once she exits from the shop, we the see the regret in her decision as she goes running off to the toilets in order to change her appearance to what it was.
