About this product

Product Information

British playwright Willy Russell (Shirley Valentine, Educating Rita) adapts his play STAGS AND HENS for the screen and, with director Mike Ockrent, who also directed the stage production of EDUCATING RITA, succeeds in conveying the cocky-eyed and aimless textures of working-class Liverpool in DANCIN' THRU THE DARK. In this atmosphere-laden character piece, Linda (Claire Hackett) is out cavorting with her friends on the night before her wedding at a Liverpool nightery. But then her husband-to-be and his friends arrive to celebrate at the same joint. As if that weren't enough coincidence to go around, pop singer Peter (Con O'Neill), Linda's ex-boyfriend, and his rock band arrive in town to play a gig -- and it happens to be at the same club.

    A great Liverpool movie!

    This is a great movie and set in Liverpool nearby, makes it even better! I know we will watch it more than a couple of times as we already had the DVD and just needed to replace it, so I would recommend it as a feel good movie which makes you laugh at times as well as being a nice down to earth story.

  • Eighties feel good movie

    I remember this film from the eighties, I enjoyed it then and wanted a copy for my collection. This dvd is quite rare so anyone who wants a copy has to pay 10 pounds or so. There is plenty of humour along with eighties nostalgia, but it is a really good feel-good movie.
