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 headcode 12, impossible to ascertain which route exactly if the location and type of unit can not be discerned. 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!
