SUMMER HOLIDAY dir Peter Yates UK 1963
This musical comedy is essentially a vehicle for the popular
singing star Cliff Richard who plays the lead role and sings
all the songs. There is, however, a loose narrative thread to
which the song and dance numbers are rather tenuously linked,
and the film, it seems, aims to entertain its audience not
only wth song and dance but also by means of a little comedy,
a little travelogue, and a little suspense. In short, a range
of generic modes is called upon to sustain the uneasy balance
between the presentation of a popular singing star and the
narrative basis for the presentation.
The film opens with a short credit sequence shot in black and
white, involving a wry summary of a wet English seaside
holiday and then, via a London bus garage, moves into full
technicolor as the plot is outlined. Four mechanics led by
Don (Cliff Richard) convert a red double decker London bus in
