SUMMER HOLIDAY at HOLLYWOOD TEEN MOVIES

Cliff Richard and the gang are back in this follow up to the crowd-pleasing classic "The Young Ones". This time round the gents play bus mechanics that transform an old double-decker London transport bus into a Motel on wheels, in order to travel across Europe for their "Summer Holiday". France, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and Greece will never be the same again after the boys pass through. Along the way the guys pick up some pretty girls (one of which is a runaway disguised as a young boy) and agree to take them to Athens. Cliff Richard and The Shadows sing and dance their way from one country to the next and into the hearts of teen audiences around the world. The awesome soundtrack is classic Cliff, featuring the now legendary title song "Summer Holiday", Cliff's famous trademark song "Bachelor Boy", the foot-stomping classic "Dancing Shoes", sung in the hay to a Yugoslav peasant girl and the film's finale song "Big News" shot to the backdrop of a buzzing pressroom. A lively cast, eye-catching dance routines and a thundering soundtrack are complemented by breathtaking European scenery to make "Summer Holiday" the musical gem that it is.
