Summer Holiday (1963)

Breaking box office records for the time, 1963 saw the release of one of the finest musical extravaganzas ever to grace the silver screen, Summer Holiday! Sir Cliff Richard, a long standing kitsch figure, stars as Don, a garage mechanic from London who converts a disused London Bus into a hotel for the ultimate road trip across Europe. Don and his mates soon find a famous American pop star stowed away on their bus and a journey begins filled with singing, dancing and a little romance!

The film was a phenomenal hit in 1963 and even today is still an internationally recognised classic with a musical spin off in London's West End theatre distrcit. With hits including the infectiously tuneful "Summer Holiday" sung by Cliff Richard, the film has firmly established itself in kitsch history.
