Additional InformationTony Richardson continued in the vein of kitchen-sink realism with this adaptation of Shelagh Delaney's novel of working-class life. Set in England in the early 1960s, A TASTE OF HONEY stars Rita Tushingham as the waifish Jo, a plain 17-year-old girl who is dragged from one shabby bed-sitter to another by Helen (Dora Bryan), her promiscuous, alcoholic termagant of a mother. When Helen and her current lover, Peter (Robert Stephens), take a holiday in Blackpool, Jo goes along and, while walking on the beach, meets Jimmy (Paul Danquah), a black sailor on leave. After they spend the night together Jimmy's ship leaves for points unknown. Helen and Peter have impulsively decided to marry, and they move into his flat, leaving Jo in the cold. She gets a job in a shoe store, where she meets gay and mild-mannered Geoffrey, and the two decide to move into a flat together. Jo soon discovers she's carrying Jimmy's child, news that depresses her. But Geoffrey couldn't be happier, and he begins knitting baby clothes, goes to a clinic for child-care instruction, and even offers to marry Jo. This moving film is exceptionally well acted and directed; it is a tribute to Richardson's boldness in taking on the theme of miscegenation, then a much more controversial issue.

A Quietly Powerful Film.
This is a engaging, moving and insightful film that first came to public attention in 1961 as a play which eventually ended up on Broadway. Fifty eight years later The National Theatre are currently touring with a new production. Written by Shelagh Delaney, it deals with teenage pregnancy, racial prejudice and homophobia yet is in no way a polemic. Filmed in black and white it is a brilliant reflection of the cultural and moral values of its time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Taste of Honey.
I had been looking for this DVD for ages. It was to be a present for my wife. I was quoted £50 for one DVD shop, who would have to order it. I looked on ebay and there it was for less than half price, including postage. The DVD arrived as promised. It works great. The wife enjoyed this old film. She`s happy then I`m happy..Thank you..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
