A Taste of Honey

Streaming video - 1961

Jo is a working-class British teenager, living with her drink-sodden, libertine mother. Denied affection by her selfish parent, Jo is pushed further in the background when her mum impulsively marries her latest boyfriend. The girl takes a job at a shoe store, then moves in with her kindly homosexual employer.. The two lost souls live in harmony until Jo becomes pregnant after a casual affair with a black sailor. Her flatmate comes to the rescue by offering to look after the baby. This relatively blissful state of affairs is short-lived; before long, Jo's hateful mother, having been kicked out by her man descends upon her daughter and her "family," with all her debilitating emotional baggage intact..
