Last Holiday
Guinness...The Great Lover!
Directed by Henry Cass
Produced by Watergate, Associated British Picture Corporation
A bittersweet mid-century comedy about a modest man's final fling at an upscale resort, balancing mortality with the pleasures of reinvention and social transformation.
George Bird is a salesman of agricultural machinery who finds out that he hasn't long to live. On his doctor's advice, he goes to an exclusive seaside resort to spend his savings on one last holiday.
