The Family Way Jenny (Hayley Mills)and Arthur Fitton (Hywel Bennett) are two sensitive youngsters who fail to consummate their recent marriage, following the vulgar ribaldry of their typically working class wedding. The situation is compunded by the couple having to live in the same house as his well-meaning but interfering parents, plus unwelcome speculation on his "performance" from the nosey neighbours. In a town that thrives on gossip, can their marriage stand the pressure? Considered highly controversial in 1966, The Family Way endures as a gentle comedy upon manners, morality and manhood.
