Cliff really rocks!!
By Tony Nana from Croydon, England , 15 Sep 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Young Ones
The Shadows come off best here with their few lines and great instrumentals undermining the potential datedness of pop stars' movie appearances. However Cliff really rocks and even if the cinematic techniques would be bettered in the follow-up Summer Holiday, the music is just superb.
Just remember the great songs and the unbelievably handsome Cliff!
Wonderful Life
A truly nonsenscial muscial comedy, it's nevertheless Cliff Richard's best in the musical genre. ( He did a couple of dramatic films which were his best) A rather bland singer competing with his similar American counterparts Elvis Presley and Frankie Avalon, Richards fared no better than they in comedy and musical scripts. This one at least contains Susan Hampshire and Walter Slezak. What makes this movie so entertaining is the zippy pace and the surprisingly great dancing and choreography. The big dance number on the set by the whole crew is spectacular and rivals 'West Side Story'. Incidentally, the long-legged Richards keeps right up with the rest of them and does even better at it than his singing! The cute little send-up of the history of the movies is also very entertaining.- Was this review helpful to you?

(18)As bad as I remembered it
By Cato (703 reviews) from Lydbury North , 03 Sep 2010I saw this film when it first came out, and found it so unlike the whole of the pop music/rock and roll scene that I was interested in (and still am some 50 years later) that I disliked it for its incredibly old fashioned and uncool production. It was like watching the early sixties through an old and out of date person's eyes. The whole tone of the film was so cheesy and feelgood, which was so unlike teenagers felt like then, and still do. Anyway, Cliff gives his usual android performance. I still think he's probably an alien who's been sent to us to improve us all. I quite liked the song 'The Next Time' though, think I bought the EP it was on, and the scenes of Athens at the end brought back happy memories, but for the most part I thought the whole thing was cringeworthy.- Was this review helpful to you?

A nostalgic delight - took me back to a period when innocence prevailed and good news was the norm. We sat back and enjoyed every last moment- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic 60's cinema.
By a customer from Bridgend , 08 Feb 2009The review title says it all. Thin on plot but these films where. Second generation Shadows featured. This film helped to put the Beatles and others on the cinema screens.
Better than the Elvis outings in my opinion.- Was this review helpful to you?
