 The Southwark Fair of 1705, or at least how Hollywood imagined it could look like, in The Man Who Laughs 1928  Heavily disfigured as a punishment because his father refused to kiss the ring of King James II, and doomed to have an eternal laugh face for the reminder of his life. Saved by Ursus the Philosopher, and with a blind girl, they travel around England and entertains the masses. This also might seem cruel but Ursus actually cares for him and his sorrows and helps him and doesn't treat him like a freak, except when they put on a show. It's not a horror movie as I have thought over the years, probably thanks to pictures in Horror movie books. It's a rather sad love story, but it has a happy ending.

In A Taste of Honey (1961), dir: Tony Richardson, teenage Jo's mother and the mother's boyfriend go to Blackpool, the traditional seaside playground for Northern industrial workers. Jo (Sheila Delaney) tags along and is a pain in the ass. Here are Jo's horrible mother (Dora Bryan) and her new boyfriend (played by Robert Stephen, at that time touted as Sir Laurence Olivier's successor as Britain's premier thespian, so slumming it) on the seafront. (There is also a later scene in which Jo's gay housemate (Murray Melvin) takes her to a local funfair).   |
