Resumen
This final project aims to follow the thread of Social Realism in British cinema from the Documentary Movement of the 1930s, through the Social Problem film and the Free Cinema movement of the 1950s, to the British New Wave. Henceforth, we will analyse the Kitchen Sink film cycle and specifically consider Shelagh Delaney’s debut drama, A Taste of Honey. Hereinafter, through textual comparison, we will show how her work immensely influenced that of The Smiths, arguably the most influential British band since The Beatles. By the end of the paper, we will be aware of the extent to which the lyrics of the Mancunian band are pervaded with traits of Social Realism and replete with direct references and quotations from Kitchen Sink films, notably from Shelagh Delaney’s work.
