Summer Holiday

"It's a Swinging Affair when four boys in a borrowed bus (with built-in bunks and bath) meet four gals with a single mission . . . Men!".

Hard to believe but the director of Bullitt, Peter Yates, started his career with this carefree musical comedy starring British pop icons Cliff Richard and The Shadows.

Sir Cliff and pals convert a London double-decker bus into a mobile youth hostel and take a test-spin across Europe. The stowaway "lad" they discover turns out to be an American heiress and trouble and hi-jinx ensue.

Summer Holiday broke all British box office records and sealed Cliff Richard's clean-cut reputation as England's best-loved entertainer.
