Review of A Taste of Honey (1961) by Weed W — 16 May 2012
This film is a gem, offering a glimpse into the heart of life in the Northern cities of England during the late 1950s. It was one of the key plays which helped puncture the middle-class complacency strangling British culture in the name of entertainment.
Today it is hard to realise just how brave it was to take on themes of illegitimacy, race, class and homosexuality in a society suffocated by conformity and riddled with repression. But most of all it is a film about empowerment, and the different forms of love which help us survive and grow.
