that riviera touch (1966)

"...not to mention the two dead bodies!"
"I told you not to mention the two dead bodies!"
A pair of London traffic wardens (Eric Morecmabe and Ernie Wise) decide to take a holiday on the French Riviera. Once there they inadvertantily get caught up in a spot of jewel smuggling. Claudette (Suzanne Lloyd) one of the gang members keeps them occupied and off the scent.
This was Morecambe and Wise's second attempt at cracking the lucrative film market, and whilst the film is ok, it never catches fire; the script effectively stiffling their likable stage characters and the seemingly spontanious banter, that made stars of them on the small screen.
