Mike Sarne, John Leyton, the likeable young heroine, Grazina Frame, Freddie and the comedy Mojos and The Leroys cheerfully look after the songs. Ron Moody as a phoney operatic music professor, delightful, daffy Liz Fraser (for once not seen in a bikini or scanties), Hazel Hughes and Michael Ripper make a little hey-hey out of a lot of corn. Nicola Riley is a little girl who frustrates Mike Sarne's efforts to romance Miss Frame.

"Every Day's a Holiday," vividly photographed by Nicholas Roeg, will give pop music fans a zestful kick. But with a bit more care and attention it could have hit a bull's-eye instead of having to make do with outers and inners. STORY The story is about a bunch of youngsters who join the staff of a seaside holiday camp, have some mild flirtations and win a television amateur talent contest. Stop me if you've heard it.

He has aged." He is fooled into thinking that it is 1950 and that for six years he has suffered from loss of memory. most people will find it a sound, absorbing couple of hours as they watch a fascinating battle of wits. James Garner, an American Intelligence major, arrives in Lisbon on the eve of D-Day. His job is to make sure that the Nazis think the invasion is coming via Calais. Knowing all the details of the coming invasion, he is a hot property for the enemy.

He is trapped, slugged, Pose A German medical officer (Rod Taylor), posing as an American, is treating him, and Garner starts to discuss the full details of the Normandy Invasion. Then he becomes suspicious. He throws the Nazis off the scent, but has he done it successfully Nobody knows who to trust as suspense gathers. Altogether, an offbeat highly satisfying drama. I seems a bit late in the day to wonder whether or not France's mass-murderer, Bluebeard Landru was guilty.

But BLUEBEARD (Jaceyin-the-Strand, A digs up the womanising petty swindler again. This is a trashy, badly written, badly acted and badly dubbed French film which involves, to no great credit, Michele Morgan, Danielle Darrieux, Rildegarde Neff and Charles Denner as Landru, the man who could charm women and the people in court.
