A family inherits a seaside hotel and has trouble attracting guests, until their son’s rock group begins bringing them in
This musical is rather fun and features a young Steve Marriott prior to his Small Faces fame. It was largely set in Brighton and features shots of a ‘Brighton Belle’ EMU passing the camera at speed on the Ouse Valley Viaduct, a ‘stock shot’ of a passing Met-Camm ‘Blue Pullman’ DMU, and a very obscure night shot of an EMU working a headcode 12 service. There are also some scenes filmed inside a BR Southern Region buffet vehicle, with Steve Marriott working behind the counter. The film was a follow-up to the commercially successful Live It Up!
