a touch of the sun (1956)

An indispencible concierge (Frankie Howerd), at a large London hotel, inherits some money and upon being told he cannot resign, due to signing a 10 year contract, decides to get himself sacked. He satisfies his life long ambition to live on the French riviera, but finds its not all its cracked up to be and longs to return to London and the hotel. Upon his return he finds the hotel has gone out of business and the only way to get his old job back it to persuade some northern businessmen to invest in the hotel.
A run of the mill comedy, that has its moments. It features a low key performance by Frankie Howerd, (with none of his usual characteristics), surrounded by the great and the good of British comedy, from Alfie Bass to Denis Price and features some acting and a couple of songs by Ruby Murray.
