Product: Educating Rita (UK) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ]
Rating: 4.0
Totally great
First off - just before I start - Rita is not Cockney. Cockneys come from the East End of London, which is in the Southeast. Rita is a Scouser (like The Beatles) who comes from Liverpool, in the Northwest. Just wanted to clear that one up!I watched this in an English lesson at school, and Walters and Caine give two of the finest performances of their respective careers. The story might be predictable, but that's one of the best things about it. Anything by Willy Russell gets my vote, anyway. Maureen Lipman is also fab.
