The price i don't know about because i got my copy of this film free with the paper.
Educating Rita is mostly based on two characters Rita and Frank both characters are played exceptionally by Julie Walters and Michael Caine as they are on screen most of the time.
The DVD is about Rita who is a hairdresser who is bored with her life and the people around her want Rita to be something she doesn't want to be and the only thing Rita looks forward to is Saturday nights down the pub. Rita decides to get an education and enrols at the open university here her tutor is Frank who is in a similar situation as Rita and Frank took up smoking and drinking. Rita struggles with the course to begin with but then she starts to enjoy herself. Rita's husband Denny wants to start a family with Rita but she is not ready and takes the pill secretly.
Educating Rita is one of the best films i have ever seen. Michael Caine and Julie Walters are a great actor and actress and they worked well together. I have always liked Michael and Julie's films. The quality of the film is fantastic it is a film that you can get into from the start. I would recommend this film to any one that has not seen it before
