Holiday Camp*     
(GB 1947)
Rank/Gainsborough. 97m. bw

Experiences of assorted guests at a British post-war holiday camp, with a secret murderer among them.
The murder element is a minor addition to a generally pleasant but unremarkable semi-documentary melodrama, with the central family of the Huggetts going on to have their own film series. Quite a hit in its day, which is where it belongs, for its evocation of holiday resorts of the time (immortalised also in the TV comedy Hi-de-Hi!)
