'We're Bloody Marvelous!'
A Taste of Honey (1961)
Great moments in film ... Rita Tushingham & Murray Melvin won Best Acting Awards at Cannes + director Tony Richardson won a BAFTA for Best Film. One of my favorite films

I haven’t laughed out loud in a movie in years!
Some of the “comedic” set pieces are a drag (too many food fights) but the cultural satire is *STILL* up-to-the-minute and relevant!
It’s a silly movie; what makes it stand out is:
• #RitaTushingham & #LynnRedgrave , in the midst of all this silliness, really invest in Brenda & Yvonne’s friendship. As a viewer, you really believe that Brenda would go to these ridiculous lengths for her friend!
They couldn’t sell that ending if we didn’t really believe in their friendship, and it’s their dramatic backgrounds that grounds it.
• The cultural satire: music industry, art world, media, even reality tv gets a poke!
Plus other references that went over my head!
• A time capsule of 60s London, including incredible over-the-top fashions!
This is such a fun movie!
I was going to say that I think #RitaTushingham is actually funnier in dramatic roles, but she’s still hiLARious here and is a master class in mugging!
