Getting It Right is a 1989 British-Americancomedy-drama film starringJesse Birdsall,Jane Horrocks, andHelena Bonham Carter.[2] Thetagline is: "Gavin is 31... and a virgin. One wild night and three women later, he's finally... Getting It Right."
The film concerns the late coming of age of protagonist Gavin Lamb (Birdsall), a painfully shy 31-year-old virgin still living at home with his parents and who works as a hairdresser in a West End salon. The socially awkward Gavin forges sudden romantic connections with three very different women: a sultry millionairess (Redgrave), an idiosyncratic recluse (Bonham Carter), and a single mother (Horrocks) who is a junior hairdresser at his salon.[3][4]
The film's theme song, also titled "Getting it Right", was sung byDusty Springfield.[5][6]
