Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
A Taste of Honey is a 1961 British New Wave drama film directed by Tony Richardson and starring Rita Tushingham, Dora Bryan, Robert Stephens and Murray Melvin. It is an adaptation of the 1958 play of the same name by Shelagh Delaney. Delaney wrote the screenplay with Richardson, who had directed the original Broadway production of the play in 1960. As with the play, the film is an exemplar of a social realist genre of British cultural movement known as kitchen sink realism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
