Till Death Us Do Part (film)

Till Death Us Do Part is a 1969 British comedy film based on the BBC television sitcom of the same name. The film retains the sitcom's main characters: Alf Garnett, his wife Else (often referred to as "Our Else"), their daughter Rita, and her Liverpudlian socialist husband, Mike Rawlins (also known as "Randy Scouse Git" by Alf).

The film follows the Garnett family through a period of social and political upheaval in late 1960s Britain. Alf, a reactionary and bigoted working-class man, constantly clashes with Mike over politics, race, and social issues. Else, long-suffering and tolerant, attempts to mediate between the two, while Rita often finds herself caught in the middle.

The film, like the television series, satirizes the prejudices and changing attitudes of British society through the exaggerated and often offensive opinions of Alf Garnett. It was controversial at the time of its release due to its depiction of racism and bigotry, but also proved to be popular with audiences. Warren Mitchell reprises his role as Alf Garnett, Una Stubbs as Rita, Dandy Nichols as Else, and Anthony Booth as Mike.

Directed by Norman Cohen, the film provides a snapshot of British social history and examines the generational divides and cultural tensions of the era. It spawned further films and television spin-offs, cementing the character of Alf Garnett as a significant figure in British popular culture.
