Beautifully ironic story from J.B. Priestley has you smiling throughout. Great cast includes Alec Guinness, Sid James, Kay Walsh, Wilfred Hyde White, Beatrice Campbell (Mrs Rockingham), 'Coco' Grégoire Aslan, Jean Colin (Daisy), Esma Cannon, Brian Worth and Bernard Lee.
The exchange between visiting Professor Lampington Ernest Thesiger and resident Muriel George is priceless, as is her previous telephone conversation.
Final twist also brilliantly ironic as is back-tracking of guests. Actually quite a big theme.
The hotel was the Rosetor in Torquay, demolished in 1979.
Cass a director of no distinction, Ray Elton hardly shot anything, memorable music by Francis Chagrin.
Associated British. Our Criterion print is very dark.
