Review of A Taste of Honey (1961) by Darryl C — 06 Dec 2008
This 1961 film has many plot elements that are taken for granted. but as directed by tony richardson, opened up for the screen by playwright shelagh delaney and acted with such energy and focus by its cast, it's very watchable and very fresh. probably its two gifts are rita tushingham as jo and its ability to make up laugh and touch our hearts with her story.
One final reason this film is so watchable is because it chronicles the shift in power in this world from a conservative way of thinking to a more encompassing way of thought in our relations with others.
