Wymondham Ex-Servicemen's Club (Former Regal Wymondham)

A group of exiled cruiseline musicians travel to the Canary Isles to help make a film.
Third in the series of Swinging Sixties Cliff musicals, by which time the law of diminishing returns had set in: overstretched and trying to outdo itself, with not particularly memorable tunes, but some interesting fantasy sequences such as an extensive history of the Movies.

Preceded by:
Island People*(GB 1940. bw. Realist Film Unit.; Looking over Britons on an average day.)
