Black and white, gay and straight, mothers and daughters, class, and coming of age. Jo is working class, in her teens, living with her drunk and libidinous mother in northern England. When mom marries impulsively, Jo is out on the streets; she and Geoffrey, a gay co worker who's adrift himself, find a room together. Then Jo finds herself pregnant after a one night stand with Jimmy, a Black sailor. Geoffrey takes over the preparations for the baby's birth, and becomes, in effect, the child's father. The three of them seem to have things sorted out when Jo's mother reappears on the scene, assertive and domineering. Which "family" will emerge?

Review :

A masterpiece from Tony Richardson and pure magic from Rita Tushingham

A Taste of Honey has always had a secure place in my top 20 films of all time. Rita Tushingham, in her first film role, is pure magic, an urban elf, backed up by Dora Bryan and Murray Melvin who produce powerful performances. This film has (mistakenly, in my view) been classified as 'kitchen-sink' whereas it is a timeless elegy with a healthy lacing of comedy.
