Ah, thanks. This is a well made video. Enjoyed the experience of watching Helen Mirren as a young beauty and as an already talented actress... And wow, she had killer body and charisma in this, her first movie. Small wonder why she aged so well.
@@rcnelson Quote where exactly I wrote that she's more beautiful now. You can't because I didn't write that, and I would never write that. I just said that she was beautiful then and she is beautiful now. Anything else you think I wrote is something you're just imagining!
Watched 'Age of Consent' a few years ago when it was Amazon Prime. It was a cold, dark, dreary Minnesota January day, the tropical paradise in this film was just what I needed that day.
Il love Helen Mirren. Fantastic Morgan in Boorman's Excalibur ! Not at the same level but I can see this sort of touch of Class in Jennifer Lawrence too.
True Bueaty Speaks for itself. And No doubt about it Helen Mirren, is a True Bueaty that has Aged like Fine Wine over the last Fifty Plus Year's. She is STILL stunning Along with Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret, Cher, Brigette Bardot, and Numerous Other Naturally Bueatiful Women. Thank You so much for Sharing.
I saw Helen Mirren onstage when she was still in school. She would have been 15... I was 14. I remember being shocked that a cigarette was smoked as part of the plot, although not be Helen.... (Well, that is, not IN the play!) That smoking was permitted in what was a school production was highly unusual, even back in 1960. My lasting regret from that day is that I had to leave BEFORE I could tell her I thought she was terrific in the role, and that I REALLY thought she would be a great success if she took up acting as a career. Yeah! I wanted to tell Helen Mirren I thought she should be an actress. 😂 Thing is, I missed the bus anyway (sigh) and had to walk a long way to get home.
You could buy "Theatrical" cigarettes at the time, which expelled a puff of chalk-dust when you blew through them. Convincing enough on stage, but obviously no use in a cinema close up. For all I know, these are still available, but I shouldn't think they are widely used anymore. It's quite likely that smoking real cigarettes on stage was forbidden more for fire safety reasons rather than because of the personal health risk, but this was probably an issue for the local council in those days. I do remember that the "fire safety curtain" had to be publicly demonstrated as working at every theatre performance!
FOR @getreal4real169--respect from Romania, all my life I thought that there were no more beautiful women than Ann Margret and Kim Novak in the 60s. I saw Helen now and at 2:19 I was shocked by her natural beauty. I can't believe it .I only saw her in movies from recent years, I didn't know she made movies when she was young

I remember seeing this movie long ago, probably on Cinemax but was very impressed with the young lady. I knew who James Mason was and thought the story was very provocative. Kind of like an alternate version of Lolita but with a twist. I am still hot for Helen. She is a few years older than me but OMG. She is still Gorgeous!!! So Talented!
Loved watching Helen Mirren over the years, she is a great British actress! A bit of unknown trivia to some... her father was a Russian born civil servant.
I met a woman in line at a grocery store and told her she looked like Helen Mirren. She was quite delighted and her face lit up. She told me, "That's the second time in a week someone's told me I look like Helen Mirren!" She was about Helen's age now. I'm about that age too. It doesn't happen too often that I'm attracted to a woman my age, and now I'm thinking, I should have chatted her up longer and got her number.
Dame Helen was one of the original British hotties from the 1960s. She was never known to be reluctant to show a little (or a lot) of skin in the sacred cause of 'ART. Before the haters arrive from the Department of Trolls, La Mirren was a member of the ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY back in the day = The lady can act! . She also looks better at 77 than any woman has a right to look.(except perhaps Sophia Loren).
Australian Women's Weekly, April 17, 1968; THE FILM COULD BE A WINNER, by Kay Keavney--On Dunk lsland in the Barrier Reef, a film unit, led by international star James Mason and famous director Michael Powell, is shooting "Age of Consent," the Norman Lindsay novel. After a stay on location, CORA, sea-waif of the story (English actress Helen Mirren), holds a piece of ornamental driftwood which artist Brad (James Mason) has set up and painted outside his decrepit shack on the island. "Who taught you to steal?" snapped the artist. "My grandmother," the girl said. She sat with the sea at her back, grasping a bucketful of sea creatures between her bare brown legs. "Where's your mother?" demanded the artist, a middle-aged man dreading involvement, and with a compassionate heart to hide. "Dead," said Cora. "Father?" "Never had one," said Cora. "Not one that would own up to it." The wind whipped her long, wet, sun-bleached hair. Came a whirring, and artist and sea-waif and enchanted island faded and disappeared. Lights went up. I came down to earth. I sat in a crowded tent on Dunk Island, off the North Queensland coast, and what I had seen were rushes from the million-dollar film being made there, based on Norman Lindsay's novel "Age of Consent." The bearded artist was James Mason, and Cora was England's Helen Mirren, who were sitting just arm's reach away. Sixty-odd people crammed into the tent, analysing and jeering in a sudden outburst of sound. Most of them were young - tanned boys and girls in bright casual clothing. All were dedicated film professionals? Nearly all were Australian. Carpenters and cinematographers, actors and accountants, make-up and wardrobe girls, lighting experts, sound experts, a nurse, three artists, film editors, secretaries, a generator operator, a dog-handler - all were part of an army air-lifted 2000 miles to this tiny island on the rim of the Barrier Reef. Their mood was victorious. They seemed to feel they were on a winner. And so, over the next few days, did I. ""Age of Consent*' is different. It's refreshing, and what an advertisement for Australia - part of Australia I, for one, had never seen. This is a film about individual human values, and human commitment, played out against a backdrop of sea and sky and scented air. The film takes time out to observe the way a frog leaps, and to listen to bird song, which is a pleasant thing in a war-weary world. Imported frogs - local ones didn't jump high enough. It's a light-hearted film, often funny, and it features a very funny man, Ireland's Jack MacGowran, whom James Mason calls "one of the finest living actors." "How are you getting on with the Australian accent?" I asked Jack. "I'm listening for it, listening all the time," he said in his lilting Irish. "I'm learning, ah, but some Irish will come through. It's very like the speech of the west of Ireland, you know. I'm thinking maybe it stems from there." Helen Mirren is a joy, as natural and unselfconscious as Cora, the girl she plays. She's completely anti-glamor (her sole costume for the film cost $4) and she's built like a female. With any luck she might start a new trend that buries Twiggy, and all the girls in the world with curves will be able to start acting proud of them again. "'Age of Consent" is virtually her first film*. "'So I'm learning my trade as I go along," she told me, biting messily into a guava. "'When I got this part with James Mason, I thought, marvellous, I'll be able to watch a master at work. But, in fact, what he does is so clever and so subtle, you don't know what it is till you see it on the screen." As for Mason himself, the film seems likely to reveal for the first time the tremendous personal qualities, the warmth, seen in his television interviews in Australia. I saw quite a deal of him on the island. Mason, at his actor's trade, Mason, the co-producer, in constant consultation with Powell. Going over his lines and fan mail with his good friend and secretary of many years, Frank Essien. Combing the shore for seashells. Spending his one day off, Sunday, at an impromptu picnic, standing by the hour pouring beer for the crew. I saw crazy things, part of the crazy film business. A crewman, for instance, at the height of an absolute downpour, frantically working a machine to make a bit more rain. And a barrel of fat frogs, specially imported at great expense because the local variety didn't leap right. I talked to the Australians, men and women, whenever I got the chance, trying to find out how they developed such competence in a land devoid of a film industry. Lots of them have knocked around the world. Most have worked on the films that occasionally and increasingly are shot here, and TV series, like "Skippy," and commercials and anything else that gets them among film. Every one of them was worth a story, and a spot of national pride. I just mention young, dark Tony Buckley, who will edit the film - the first time it has been wholly done in Australia and the first time it has been done on actual location. "What a responsibility," groaned Tony. "But what an opportunity!" All the international big shots paid tribute to the Australians. Said Mason, "Absolutely professional." Said Englishman John Pellatt, finance adviser, a veteran of 60 films, "Wouldn't you agree. Micky, that this is the finest crew we've ever worked with?" Said Michael Powell, the perfectionist, "It's becoming so." I marvelled at the sheer logistics - air and sea freighting everything from a hairpin to a $50,000 generator to the pocket-handkerchief of an island. (That generator sank in 24 feet of water just off Townsville. It had to be dug up, towed underwater to Dunk, landed, dried out, and reassembled - and so tight was organisation that the production hardly missed a beat.) I watched young, bearded artist Paul Delprat and his two pretty girl assistants, who actually paint the works artist Brad does on the island. They also painted the decrepit shack Brad rents and turns into a riot of color. Machine-made rain to boost a tropic downpour. Some of the paintings of Cora are nudes. In the film, she poses for them in total innocence. Brad paints them with total objectivity - until the world breaks in and brings conflict and tension, and violent death. Paul works on the nudes at a remote beach called Muggy Muggy (now known to the crew as Nuddy Muddy) and on the perfect little island across from Dunk called Purtaboi. It was the scene of the Sunday picnic, when the hard workers played just as hard. The skippers and crew of the two permanently chartered motor - cruisers cooked delicous barramundi in butter on an open range and Helen Mirren cut up salad and James Mason poured beer. He also played a tough game of water polo for the Beards and Birds against the Cleanskins and got a bloodied nose in the process. Then back to Dunk with the first stars. Drinks, tall stories, songs, and shoptalk on the broad verandas. Monday tomorrow, and a six-thirty start. Inevitably, talk of the future of the Australian film industry. Well, "Weird Mob" led to this, and this could lead to - what? Spirits high, that sense of being on a winner. "All Australia needs is backing," said someone. "And guaranteed distribution," cut in someone else. Dennis Gende, the art director, summed up for all: "The future is limitless. It can go as far as Hollywood has gone. I only hope it doesn't end as Hollywood has ended."
THE AUSTRALIAN JEWISH TIMES, Sydney, NSW, Thursday, August 7, 1969. "THE AGE OF CONSENT"--The original story of Norman Lindsay, the great Australian artist, reads like an autobiography. The film virgin captured the depth of the personal drama of the artist Bradley Monahan, but turned the warm humour of the book into rather cheap comedy. The setting is worthy of an artist’s choice: it captures the magic of the island, framing the world of the half-wild girl excellently. English actress Helen Mirren is wholly believable as the uncouth child flowering into womanhood and looking remarkably like Lindsay’s original drawings. James Mason, as the painter, is ideally cast. There is nothing new in his performance, but his usual taciturn style goes well with the character of the artist who escapes from the emptiness of society to find himself in seclusion. The bizarre characters around him are mostly overacted, breaking the style of the film clearly in half. The grandmother is like a Bette Davis send-up or a Macbeth caricature (Neva Carr-Glyn). The figure of the policeman is also unduly overplayed and so is Bradley’s pal, Nat Kelly (the name itself is a clear indication of the cheap laughs the makers of the film settled for). It is obviously not the best product of Michael Powell’s directing career but entertaining just the same.
I wish they could invent a pill that keeps women young. Like 18 forever.

She walks in beauty as the night of cloudless climes & starry skies;And all that’s best of dark & bright Meet in her aspect & her eyes. Lord Byron could have written these lines for Hellen Mirren.
Spring of 68 filmed she was 22. I don’t know which 34 year olds you know who look as young as this but to me every beautiful inch of her says a woman in her early 20s.

It's fascinating to see Helen Mirren so young, knowing in hindsight how beautiful she was then and also continues to be even to this day!
Age might enhance intelligence, experience, and wisdom, but not beauty.
@@rcnelson Quote where exactly I wrote that she's more beautiful now. You can't because I didn't write that, and I would never write that. I just said that she was beautiful then and she is beautiful now. Anything else you think I wrote is something you're just imagining!
@@rcnelson Cruel thing to say. Beauty is highly subjective.
Many will say beauty is within and Helen was both!
@@Don_ECHOguy I used to have a crush on Helen Mirren but today my heart belongs to Diana Rigg.
The woman was never afraid of nudity because her acting talent was even greater than her physical beauty, which is itself profound. ❤

The underwater swimming sequence from this film is astonishingly beautiful.
What I wouldn't give to see James Mason swimming underwater....
Simply stunning 😍 great tune as well.
Thank you
I first saw Helen in her later years. There was a photo they had of her in the 70s, Gard Dam she was hot!
She was no Majorie Main (be still my heart!) but Helen Mirren was indeed quite attractive !!
Great match. Beautiful, timeless woman and a beautiful, timeless song.
One of the best actresses paired with one of the best songs. Perfection
Loved it ❤
This is real beauty. She changes and yet she’s still fair. She’s “mature” and it looks/feels just as beautiful as always.

She was a pretty good swimmer.
She was no Hope Emerson (hubba hubba!) but Ms. Mirren is truly lovely & truly gifted!
Tragically hip fits well with this video. Love the Hip
How does Helen Mirren look better older? She’s so beautiful especially with her grey hair.

If someone is gorgeous at 20 they are frequently still attractive at 60
She was quite a hottie.
RIP to the singer Gord Downie. Justin Trudeau claims that Gordon was a personal friend of his.
She was no Marie Dressler (what a woman!) but Helen was indeed one sexy lady!
She walks in beauty as the night of cloudless climes & starry skies;And all that’s best of dark & bright Meet in her aspect & her eyes.
Lord Byron could have written these lines for Hellen Mirren.
Tragically Hip fk yeah
I never really bought James Mason as a somewhat beatnik artist.
I guess Bob Denver (who played TV beatnik Maynard G Krebs to perfection) wasn't available. Probably busy with TV's "Gilligan's Island".
I thought we were living in the Age of Consent now?
Linda.....
❤️🔥
I never realized how much she and Terri Garr resembled one another.
Good❤
Spectacular, isn't she?
What dreams are made of.
1:28 this must be the inspiration to Steven Seagal’s running style.
Back when Helen Mirren was a hottie.
Не знал, что она молодая была, может Фейк?
Young Helen Mirren = Naomi Watts
But with a nice body
omg yes
She aged gracefully too, unlike her fellow alien duck hybrids
She's 24, looks 34, and is supposed to be a teenager.
Spring of 68 filmed she was 22. I don’t know which 34 year olds you know who look as young as this but to me every beautiful inch of her says a woman in her early 20s.
The hip!
