3 things about Tony Richardson’s THE ENTERTAINER [1960]

1. His swan song is a show entitled “Put Me Amongst the Girls.”
2. “Cheer up love, life isn’t as bad as all that, and even if it is, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
3. The curtain is raised before the audience has even finished leaving the theatre.

Spotify's main algo-driven #BritishNewWave playlist is entitled "Is It New Wave?" and TBH I often want to say "No, that song really isn't New Wave."

Are The Police New Wave? (Genuinely unsure on this one, but fairly sure, e.g., Billy Idol ain't)

I’ve become a low-key big fan of the #BritishNewWave. There’s something about the topics explored, the raw nature of the exploration, the intense performances, and how it all gels. A TASTE OF HONEY (’61) may be my new fave from the era. Devastating performances from Rita Tushingham and Dora Bryan as not-very-close daughter/mother who drift apart and then back as each wrestles with love challenges. A beautiful, thoughtful work.
