Beautiful Thing DVD (1996) | Glen Berry, Scott Neal & Linda Henry | Meera Syal & Ben Daniels | Written by Jonathan Harvey | Dir. Hettie Macdonald | LGBT Classic | 15 Cert | New & Sealed

Two boys on a South East London council estate. One summer. And the most joyful ending in British cinema. Glen Berry and Scott Neal star in Beautiful Thing (1996) on DVD. Directed by Hettie Macdonald and written by Jonathan Harvey from his own stage play, the film follows Jamie (Berry) and Ste (Neal) — two teenage neighbours on the Thamesmead estate in South East London — who gradually, tentatively fall in love. At a time when almost all LGBT cinema ended in tragedy, Beautiful Thing insists on warmth, humour and joy — and closes with Mama Cass and “Dream a Little Dream of Me” playing over one of the great final scenes in British film. Also starring Linda Henry as Jamie’s formidable, fiercely loving mother Sandra, Meera Syal as the brilliantly eccentric neighbour Leah and Ben Daniels. Produced by Tony Garnett (Kes). 87 minutes. 15 cert.
