Review by Noel Bailey
The most aptly named film is screen history!
Boasting the “cream” of Australian comedy actors in 1977, this excuse for a good-time was obviously intended as a side-splitting laugharama along the lines of the British CARRY ON series. It is SO bad, it should be compulsory viewing at any accredited film-school in terms of how NOT to make a movie.
With a script from Hell, our fearless troupe cavort around a holiday resort called “Sea Island” (How many writers did it take to come up with this gem?) trying to be funny. Viewers might derive some pleasure trying to nominate the worst individual performance!
Filmed allegedly in just 12 days, that MUST have included Editing and Post Production! Another 353 would have made no difference!
A seventies film to be missed.
