Storyline

- TriviaShot exclusively on location, in Salford, Blackpool and a disused house in the Fulham Road in London that cost £20 a week to rent.
- GoofsWhile the teacher is reading from a book; at one point it cuts to two classmates who look back at Jo and start giggling. The cut is premature and makes no sense because when it cuts back to Jo, she is not doing anything to make them laugh. She is merely looking in a notebook. However it is in the next sequence of cuts when Jo begins to mimic the teacher thus causing the students to giggle.

Favourable comments of a favourite film.
Taste of Honey is evocative of life in Lancashire in the 1960's. The scenes of what were called the "Whit Walks" must bring back memories to many Lancashire folk, as must the scenes of England's most famous seaside resort; Blackpool. The film made Rita Tushingham a houshold name. Her portrayal of the the schoolgirl "done wrong" is second to none. Her large wide eyes show the fear and her innocence at the same time. Dora Bryan is magnificent as the "couldn't-care-less" mother who's quest for a good time is at the expense of all others. The film is well worth a watch, particularly if you are a fan of British films of the 60's. Watch out for a continuity gaff in the scenes on the pier!
