Gregory's Girl

(1981) A Scottish coming-of-age romantic comedy film written and directed by Bill Forsyth. Like many of Forsyth's movies, it is set in his native Scotland.

The film is set in and around a state secondary school in the Abronhill district of Cumbernauld. It features John Gordon Sinclair, Dee Hepburn, and Clare Grogan, among others. Grogan's role helped promote her career, as she was in the band Altered Images at the time of the film's release.

Filming of exterior scenes at Gregory's school took place at Abronhill High School.

As the film had a small budget, the actors supplied many of their own clothes. Dee Hepburn's white shorts were borrowed from her sister.

The film was re-dubbed with rather Anglicized Scottish accents for the original American theatrical release. Both versions are available on the American DVD.

Many of the young actors were members of the Glasgow Youth Theatre, and had appeared in Forsyth's earlier film, That Sinking Feeling (1980), including Robert Buchanan, Billy Greenlees, and John Gordon Sinclair.

A person in a penguin costume is seen at various points in the film for no apparent reason. Inside the suit was Christopher Higson, son of production manager Peter Higson

This movie has been on my top 10 movie list since I first saw it back in the 80s.

Local Hero, is another movie by the same director and it's just as quirky as Gregory's Girl.
