"We're all Goin' on a Summer Holiday....", 29 June 2003
Author: shields- from Santa Barbara, CA

The second of three very-well produced films starring Cliff and The Shadows, sees them fixing up a London double-decker bus to tour the Continent, and meet girls on the way.Some silly plot about a runaway American girl-pretending-to-be-a-boy doesn't really get in the way of colorful location lensing in CinemaScope, or the songs and music.Cliff was just as handsome and talented a performer as Elvis in his own right, and still knocks 'em dead in appearances to this date, around the world. Goodonyer, Sir Cliff! Oh, that oddball they pick us is Ron Moody who later gained fame as "Fagin" in the musical, "Oliver"
