United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), WIDESCREEN (1.66:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: A Lancashire lass refuses to eat the meal her mother has prepared for her. Her thick-eared father (James Mason) insists that she ingest every bite. This seemingly minor incident snowballs into big trouble for everyone concerned. Hard to believe, but this was based on a very popular stage play by Bill Naughton. The comic edge is blunted by the film's use of real Bolton locations, which tend to make the exaggerated passions and gesticulations of Mason and his family seem more pathetic than humorous. ...Spring and Port Wine ( Spring & Port Wine )

Format:VHS Tape
Classic kitchen sink drama of the 1960s set in Bolton, starring James Mason, Diana Coupland, Rodney Bewes and an achingly beautiful Susan George. Why isn't this film available either as a VHS or better still DVD?
It seems that if you want to watch this film, you have to wait for it to appear on afternoon telly around once every two years. A shocking waste of a very good film!

Please has someone got a copy of this wonderful film, it's about time this film was released again, i've seen it about 3 times on TV but would dearly love a copy of this film.......i'am feeling rather nostalgic and have just watched Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and it's put me in the mood to see some classic British films from the sixties & seventies i've managed to find most of the others i was looking for apart from the above, i know this isn't really giving the film a review but if you like British films then this is a classic and shgould be re- released again now!

Format:DVD
THE FILM IS A VERY SENSITIVE PICTURE OF LIFE IN 50/60`S BOLTON IT IS ESPECIALLY EVOVOCATIVE FOR ME AS I SPENT MUCH OF MY EARLY YEARS IN THE AREA,IN FACT MY PARENTS OWNED THE CORNER SHOP SEEN IN AN EARLY SCENE OF THE FILM. I OFTEN USED THE GINNEL SEPARATING THE TWO CORPORATION HOUSES USED IN THE FILM AND WOULD ONLY CRITICISE THE IDEALISTIC VIEW OF THE HOUSE INHABITED BY THE FAMILY,IT WAS,IN REALITY,MUCH LESS DESIREABLE.

Brilliant film
And well worth waiting for to come out on dvd, even though it lacks extras. A great cast, with the young Susan George refusing to eat a herring, because she doesn`t fancy it (as we... Read more

DIANA COUPLAND - What a star!
I got this because I love the whole kitchen sink genre of British films. I am as much fascinated with the historical nature of the film as the stories. Read more

Great film....
An extremely touching and realistic film about family life back in the 1960s. Far too slow-moving for ADHD youngsters but rewarding on any number of levels for those who take the... Read more
