FEATURE FILM
-
A TASTE OF HONEY by Tony Richardson
1961, United Kingdom, 100 minutes.
Starring Rita TushinghamStarring Rita Tushingham, Dora Bryan, Robert Stephens, David Boliver, Paul Danquah & Murray Melvin.
This film created such a stir upon its release that it almost killed the careers of everyone involved. Rita Tushingham shines as a naive, working class, white Salford teenager who find herself pregnant by a black sailor. Her slatternly mother, Dora Bryan, kicks her out and she's forced to take refuge with Geoffrey, a gay workmate with just as many troubles. These two unlikely 'parents' set up a house with the new baby, only to have Mum turn up ready to assert her rights as grandmother. This is post-war England encapsulated to perfection in melancholy masterpiece of kitchen-sink cinema.
"A ground-making movie of its time."
Radio Times, 5 Stars
"A taboo-breaking 60s tale."
