"The Girl in a Swing" (1989) Directed by Gordon Hessler
"The
Girl in a Swing" stars our Meg as Karin, a beautiful and sensual German
girl who is hired by Alan, an English antique dealer played by Rupert
Frazer ("Empire of the Sun"). The relationship takes off the moment Alan
lays eyes on Karin, and their romance is at once mysterious, torrid, and
passionate. But, there's something going on in Karin's life, and her
secret will jerk your heartstrings if you get into the movie as much as I
did.
I thought this movie was a bit of a departure for Meg, and on the
personal side, it was seeing this movie that made me want to contact her.
I thought her portrayal of Karin, a German girl, was particularly good. I
had just returned from Germany when I saw "Girl in a Swing" and felt she
did an excellent job of capturing the little nuances that many may have
missed. The movie got mixed reviews, and even I admit that it tends to be
slow (as do many British movies, IMHO) but the storyline is intriguing as
well as moving.
