“Bachelor Boy” Cliff Richard is still making hit records nearly 40 years after this high-spirited romp. It's unlikely that his knighthood was awarded solely on the strength of this wholesome road movie (the less than august debut of director Peter Yates), in which four youths cross Europe in a London Transport double-decker bus. But there are plenty of fondly remembered songs, some splendid scenery and a willing supporting cast that includes Melvyn Hayes, who would again be upstaged by a bus later in his career as Alfred in the classic TV series The Double Deckers.
