Synopsis

The second volume of British movies from the 1960s.
ACCIDENT: An artful, nuanced British film based on a thought-provoking script by Harold Pinter. An Oxford University professor looks back over his life and particularly, the complicated relationship between a young student, another professor and himself. A relationship that was to end in tragedy.
THE FAMILY WAY: This film from 1966 is best known for it's score by a certain Paul McCartney, his only solo work before the Beatles split in 1970. The film itself is a gentle sentimental comedy about a newly wed couple who are struggling to find the time to consummate their marriage. Soon it's the talk of town, which only adds to the pressure.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Clarify: "The Family Way" IS in colour, 4 May 2005
By R.L. Holly "piper909" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
There is some misleading information in this listing and on the DVD packaging that might lead buyers to believe that "The Family Way" is presented here in B&W. Not so -- it IS a colour transfer, as it should be, but I want to post this clearly here so that others will not be deterred from ordering it (as I was, initially). It looks to have been prepared from a film print, not the original negative, but the quality is acceptable even with no bonus features. I have yet to view "The Accident", but "The Family Way" is an exceptionally well-done drama set in what now seems a very long-ago Lancashire. Funny and poignant script and superb acting from all players, especially the late, great Sir John Mills as a working-class father who's both abrasive and pathetic. All the characters in this film ring true and are presented with warmth and understanding for all their flaws or quirks. Hayley Mills never looked lovelier and makes a good match with Hywell, who she would work with again. It's hard to believe this film was originally released to some twittering, what with a fleeting glimpse of Hayley's bare bottom and the then-shocking oblique discussion of how Hywell hadn't yet "done the job" with his young wife. How times change! We are no longer so easily scandalized, yet the problems these newlyweds face are perhaps not so unusual still. This is an engaging look at how ordinary life was in the North, once upon a time, through the tales of some extraordinary people. Excellent, and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars British film at their best, 12 Jun 2004
By Moral Eclipse (Bolton, UK) - See all my reviews
Although there are two films on this dvd I find the second one, The Family Way the definate best. Set in Bolton in the 60's it's about a young newlywed couple, Arthur and Jenny, who find adjusting to marrried life harder and not as romantic as thought. Instead of living in their own house they have to live with Arthur's parents which makes things difficult.
My parents were the ones who introduced me to this film and I'm glad they did. As a twenty year old I loved every minute of this film, and it did nothing but make me smile all the way through, with it's fantastic humour and teary, sentimental moments. It showed me what life was like in the 60's and how romantic people were then and how important family was.
The best performance comes from Sir John Mills as Arthurs' bullying yet caring dad.
The Accident isn't as good but it's worth buying this dvd for The Family Way.
