Young newlyweds Arthur and Jenny Fitton want nothing more than to get their marriage started on the right foot. But before they can depart for their honeymoon in Spain, they have to spend their first night together at the home of Arthur's parents. The couple are prevented from having any intimacy, but it only gets worse. They find out that their trip to Spain is canceled, which sets the tone for a rocky few weeks.

In the end, it was never Jenny’s “fault” or Arthur’s “fault”, but the way people like to gossip about other people’s lives
Lucy Fitton is clearly one of the best mothers in law in movies

”It’s always the same, lad, weddings and funerals. The last ones to enjoy ’em are the principals.”Special watching this in my mum’s birthday with Fathin**! 🌟
**i can say this movie feels sweet, intimate, and low-key heartbreaking in that very British and very 60s way with full of emotions, awkward tenderness, and that heavy pressure of expectations young couples face.
it follows newlyweds Arthur Fitton (played by Hywel Bennett) and Jenny Fitton (played by Hayley Mills), who move into Arthur’s parents’ noisy and hardly the honeymoon setup they imagined. their marriage gets off to a rocky start when Arthur’s shyness and insecurity make it difficult for them to consummate the relationship, and the whole town starts gossiping about their troubles
as pressure builds from family, work, and the community, they slowly drifts into hurt feelings and miscommunication. Arthur and Jenny must figure out how to reconnect and build their marriage with their own trust.
really love how this movie balances humor wity showing how love can get tangled up with pride, insecurity, and family chaos. their chemistry fits sooo well, too! 🌼🌟

p.s. this storylines reminds me with my parents’ marriage few months after their wedding. mumma say it’s a bit relate but thank God they live happily for almost 26 years 🫶🏻

Crazy weird seeing Bolton in a movie considering the shit hole that it is now.
I’m sorry but Ezra fitton is a homosexual and someone get Lucy away from him she’s at the end of her tether for most of this film.

I’m slowly but surely watching more of my girl Hayley Mills’ filmography. First time I saw her butt! And her dad plays her husband’s dad in this movie… weird!
I was kinda bummed that the lead guy wasn’t gay or something, but then it put the twist in there that the dad was at least bisexual so that was great! Some really interesting scenes discussing British gossip but also their secrecy.
It’s kinda all over the place as far as tone and quality, but I’d watch it again.

Tried pirating "Wake in Fright" on Hydra but this played instead. Took me a solid 30 minutes to realize I was watching the wrong film. I don't know why this happened, but I was able to watch "Wake in Fright" on Dopebox.
