Summer Holiday
The Young Ones Have Gone Abroad!
Garage mechanic Don (Cliff Richard) persuades London Transport to loan him an old double-decker bus, which he and his mates transform into a hotel on wheels for a road trip across Europe. But when a beautiful runaway American pop star stows away on board, the boys are off on an international adventure of singing girl groups, chatty French mimes and even a Yugoslavian bullwhip wedding. It's a singing and dancing race against time as Cliff and company find friends, fun and maybe even love, all on a Summer Holiday!
Upon its release in 1963, Summer Holiday broke all British box office records and sealed Cliff Richard's reputation as England's best-loved entertainer. This delightful musical adventure also marked the film debut of director Peter Yates (Bullitt, Breaking Away), and features Cliff's classic hits "Summer Holiday," " Bachelor Boy," "Dancing Shoes" and "The Next Time", as well as the #1 instrumental smash "Toe Tapper" by his virtuoso backing band The Shadows.

This is one of the best musicals I've ever seen. It has humor old fasion romance and spell bounding actors that keep you entertained for the duration of the film. The interesting fact about this movie and all musicals is that it sucks you in with the innocence of happiness of an old fashion romance. I watched this movie over and over again, smiling the whole time. Call me sappy, but I don't care. They don't make movies like this anymore.
