A Taste Of Honey
(1961)
Runtime: 100 min
Country:
UK
Language: English
Synopsis: This ground-breaking
movie of its time, based on Shelagh Delaney's play, stars the mousey Rita
Tushingham in her screen debut as the unwanted teenage daughter of Dora Bryan,
a hilariously vulgar Salford lass who is being courted by flash and pimpish
Robert Stephens. Our Rita is saved from her living hell by two social exiles
— a black sailor, who makes her pregnant, and a homosexual who makes her
happy — until the poverty trap snaps shut around her. Set in dank bedsits
amid the grimy smokestacks, polluted canals and the tacky prom at Blackpool,
this movie — a romance of sorts, and a comedy — survives as a
priceless record of England and English attitudes in 1961.
