==Plot==
Following the wedding of young Jenny Piper ([[Hayley Mills]]) and Arthur Fitton ([[Hywel Bennett]]) a rowdy reception ensues at a local [[Lancashire]] pub. The newlyweds then spend their wedding night at the Fitton's house, where Arthur's father, Ezra ([[John Mills]]), and some drunken guests are loudly singing in the living room. Arthur clashes with Ezra, a lifelong [[gasworks]] employee, who is unable to understand his son's love of literature and classical music. After a strained evening, the newlyweds retire, only for their marital bed to collapse as the result of a practical joke by Arthur's boorish boss Joe Thompson ([[Barry Foster (actor)|Barry Foster]]). Jenny is amused, but Arthur, believing she is laughing at him, is unable to consummate their marriage. Arthur assures Jenny everything will be fine once they are on their honeymoon in Majorca, but the next day, they discover that the travel agent absconded with the money they gave him for the tickets, cancelling the trip.

Unable to afford their own home, Jenny and Arthur live with Arthur's parents and adult brother Geoffrey. The thin walls and lack of privacy exacerbate Arthur's discomfort. As days pass into weeks, the marriage remains unconsummated, straining the couple's relationship. Making matters worse, Arthur works at night while Jenny has a day job. Jenny begins socializing with Geoffrey, who is attracted to her, but she rebuffs his advances. At Jenny's urging, Arthur sees a marriage counsellor, but a gossipy charwoman overhears their session and spreads what was discussed. After Jenny confides to her parents that the marriage still is unconsummated, they then tell Jenny's in-laws. Arthur's mother Lucy ([[Marjorie Rhodes]]) reminisces to the Pipers about her own marriage having had a slow start. Ezra tries defending himself when Lucy relates how he brought his life-long friend Billy along on their honeymoon and spent more time with him than her. Lucy later tells Mrs Piper about once spending an evening with Billy when Ezra was working late, after which, Billy disappeared from their lives.

Joe Thompson, having heard the gossip, mocks Arthur and scornfully "volunteers" to satisfy Jenny. An enraged Arthur batters him, then quits his job. Returning home, he berates Jenny for disclosing their private matters. Their quarrel leads to them finally having sex. The gossipy neighbours overhear them and spread the news.

Meanwhile, the [[Association of British Travel Agents]] (ABTA) bond has covered the couple's lost honeymoon money, and they prepare for a belated one in [[Blackpool]]. Jenny's Uncle Fred advises the couple to get their own home to help improve their marriage; Ezra agrees to help Jenny and Arthur with the down payment on their own cottage, wanting to build a better relationship with Arthur, whom he tearfully calls "son". After Arthur leaves, Ezra ingenuously remarks how much Arthur looks and acts like the long-gone Billy, causing Lucy to console him.

==Background==
Bill Naughton wrote a television play for [[ABC Weekend TV|ABC]]'s ''[[Armchair Theatre]]'' series titled ''Honeymoon Postponed'', which was transmitted in 1961. ''[[The Observer]]'' described it as "a lively - almost Restoration - Lancashire working class comedy."<ref>America Scores Again
RICHRDSON, MAURICE. The Observer 5 February 1961: 31.</ref>

Naughton adapted it into a theatre play that premiered in 1963 with [[Bernard Miles]] playing the father. It played for six weeks at London's experimental [[Mermaid Theatre]], then transferred to a commercial house, where it ran for three months. London's drama critics awarded it the Best New Play of 1962–1963.<ref>The pioneer, Crozier, Mary. ''The Guardian'' 7 March 1963: 7.</ref> Naughton sold the American film and theatre rights for $100,000, enabling him to become a full-time writer.<ref>Mermaid---Globe's Goodly Neighbor, Marks, Sally K. ''Los Angeles Times'' 25 June 1967: c25.</ref>

[[David Susskind]] bought the rights to produce the play in America, and cast [[Eric Portman]] as the father.<ref>ALL IN GOOD TIME' TO STAR PORTMAN: Comedy Hit in London Due at Lyceum on Nov. 23 Best New British Play Double Bill Closes Champion Signed By SAM ZOLOTOW. ''The New York Times'' 30 July 1963: 19</ref> However, Portman was unable to play the part.

The play debuted on Broadway in 1965 with [[Donald Wolfit]] playing the father. Susskind produced it with [[Daniel Melnick]] and [[Joseph E. Levine]] in association with the Boulting brothers, who were to make the film version.<ref>The Theater: 'All in Good Time' Opens: Bill Naughton Comedy Is at the Royale By HOWARD TAUBMAN.

==Production==
===Development===
John Mills attended the opening night of the play at the Mermaid Theatre. After the performance, he went backstage to seek film rights as a vehicle for himself and his daughter Hayley, but discovered that they had been promised to the Boultings.<ref name="john">Mills: Patriarch of Acting Family, Scheuer, Philip K. ''Los Angeles Times'' 6 December 1966: D22.</ref>

In July 1963, it was announced that David Susskind would make a film of the play as a co-production with the Boulting brothers, with John producing and Roy directing. Roy Boulting was writing a script with Naughton and Susskind and was hopeful that [[Peter Sellers]], who had made several films with the Boultings, would play the father.<ref>{{cite news|last=Archer|first=Eugene|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1963/07/28/357354542.html?pageNumber=75|title=By Way of Report: Chaplin and Susskind and a 'President'|newspaper=The New York Times|date=28 July 1963|access-date=4 July 2022|page=75}}</ref> The Boultings then focused on making ''[[Rotten to the Core (film)|Rotten to the Core]]''.<ref>{{cite news|last=Weiler|first=A.H.|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1965/02/28/98453903.html?pageNumber=406|title=Focus on 'Rotten' Crime in Britain|newspaper=The New York Times|date=28 February 1965|page=X9|access-date=4 July 2022}}</ref>

The film was financed by [[British Lion Films]] and the Boultings. It was the only film made in Britain within a 12-month period financed completely with British capital.<ref name="over">Bowling Over Mr. Boulting, ''Los Angeles Times'' 17 July 1967: c19.</ref>

===Casting===
The Boultings contacted John Mills while the latter was making ''[[King Rat (film)|King Rat]]'' in Hollywood and offered him the role of the father. "I'd call it a comedy with serious intent," said Mills, who called his role "the best part I've had since ''[[Hobson's Choice (1954 film)|Hobson's Choice]]''."<ref name="john"/>

Hayley Mills was cast as the bride. She called her role "a most marvellous departure... no more school girl parts for me unless the character happens to be absolutely fascinating."<ref name="hayley">[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/37501423/clifford_terry_little_hayley_now/ Little Hayley Now Mature Miss Mills], Clifford, Terry. ;;Chicago Tribune;; 9 July 1967: f13.</ref> Mills called the film "an answer to Britain's kook generation."<ref name="love">Hayley's Director Love of Her Life, Lesner, Sam. ''Los Angeles Times'' 6 July 1967: e13.</ref>

Hywel Bennett was cast after John Boulting saw him in the play ''A Smashing Time''. "We weren't purposely looking for an unknown," said Roy Boulting, "but mostly for someone who had the appearance of both sensitivity and masculinity."<ref name="hayley"/>

===Filming===
The film was shot in Naughton's hometown of Bolton, as well as in [[Rochdale]] and [[Slough]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/nostalgia/town-is-backdrop-to-so-many-films-963081|title=Town is backdrop to so many films|author=men Administrator|date=19 April 2010|work=men}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/arts-culture-news/review-family-way--bolton-10009332|title=Review: The Family Way @ Bolton Octagon|author=Steve Howarth|date=8 September 2015|work=men}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.reelstreets.com/index.php/component/films/?task=view&id=1504&film_ref=family_way,_the&start=10|title=Reel Streets|work=reelstreets.com}}</ref> Some interior scenes were filmed at [[Shepperton Studios]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pinewoodgroup.com/production/family-way|title=The Family Way – Pinewood filming location|work=pinewoodgroup.com}}</ref> It was known during filming as ''All in Good Time''.<ref>A Major Blow to Hollywood, CROWTHER, BOSLEY.

==Release==
The film premiered in London on 18 December 1966. The film was released on video on 24 February 1989.

The movie became a notable critical and financial success in the UK.<ref name="out"/><ref name="over"/> In October 1967, John Boulting claimed it was the most successful British film made over the past year.<ref>Where does British Lion go from here?, BOULTING, JOHN. ''The Guardian'' 4 Oct 1967: 14.</ref>

The nude scene led to the film receiving a "condemned" rating by the Catholic Film Office.<ref>Nudity in 'Family Way' Held Necessary to Plot, Dorothy Manners. ''The Washington Post and Times-Herald'' 31 July 1967: D10.</ref>

The film is [[Motion picture rating system#New Zealand|rated]] M in Australia and New Zealand for nudity and sexual references.

===Critical reception===
''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote: "Hayley Mills gets away from her [[Walt Disney|Disney]] image as the young bride, even essaying an undressed scene. Bennett is excellent as the sensitive young bridegroom. But it is the older hands who keep the film floating on a wave of fun, sentiment and sympathy. John Mills is firstclass in a character role as the bluff father who cannot understand his son and produces the lower working-class man’s vulgarity without overdoing it. Avril Angers as the girl’s acid mother and John Comer as her husband are equally effective, but the best performance comes from Marjorie Rhodes as John Mills’ astute but understanding wife."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/1966/film/reviews/the-family-way-2-1200421271/|title=The Family Way|author=Variety Staff|date=1 January 1967}}</ref>
