Episode 115 - Last Holiday (1950)
Apr 22, 2022
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.
Last Holiday (1950)
When ordinary middle-class
salesman George Bird (Alec Guinness) is diagnosed with a rare and
fatal illness, he decides to spend his few remaining days in
luxury. Cashing in his savings, he buys a fancy new wardrobe and
poses as a wealthy businessman at a posh seaside resort.
Unexpectedly, the dying man's luck begins
to change during his holiday, from winning at gambling to
establishing friendships with his fellow guests, most notably
Sheila Rockingham (Beatrice Campbell).
"I want some more information from you Mr Bird - tomorrow perhaps. Don't run away or drop dead, will you?"
