DVD Review: unhappy purchaser
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased a dvd from this vendor which I later discovered only plays on European dvd players. I contacted the vendor who told me to return the product for a full refund. I did that but have still not received the refund. I have requested that the credit card company investigate. I would nver again do business with this personDVD Review: One of the Ten Best Movies Ever Produced in UK

I totally agree with every word of Robert Dahl's review - only I would never have been able to express the ideas so excellently. DVD Review: Essential Viewing
Summary: 5 Stars
British filmmaking enjoyed a resurgence, known as the British New Wave, during the late 50's and early 60's, with "kitchen sink" films depicting gritty realism, working-class people, and only an occasional happy ending. A Taste Of Honey is one of the defining films of this time period.
Written by then nineteen-year-old Shelagh Delaney, and first presented by Joan Littlewood at Stratford-upon-Avon in May 1958 as a stage play, it was brought to the screen by director-producer Tony Richardson's Woodfall Films in 1961. His search for an unknown actress to play Jo, the teenage daughter, culminated in his discovery of Liverpool-born Rita Tushingham, whose "all-speaking eyes" stood out in her film test.
The mother-daughter relationship between Helen (Dora Bryan) and Jo (Tushingham) is one of the best on film. Helen's sluttish ways and egocentric lifestyle prompt some wonderfully catty zingers from Jo. As the film goes on, we see that Helen truly loves Jo and never lies to her, but that Helen's first priority is Helen.
Jo becomes involved with a black man and with a gay man, highly controversial for 1961 audiences, and experiences a brief period of happiness - a taste of honey - before her mother returns with all of her emotional baggage intact.
A great script gives an actor the opportunity to shine, and Dora Bryan and Rita Tushingham both give standout performances.
Grittily realistic and wonderfully acted, A Taste Of Honey is essential viewing for anyone interested in British Cinema.
