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.
