An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1956 release of “A Touch of the Sun”

A British comedy film directed by Gordon Parry and starring Frankie Howerd, Ruby Murray and Dennis Price. The film was made by the independent producer Raymond Stross and shot at Nettlefold Studios in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, with sets designed by the art director John Stoll.

A surprisingly low-key performance from Frankie Howerd as a hotel concierge. He longs for a quiet life on the French Riviera, and when he inherits some money off he goes. However, despite his best efforts, he can't get any rest and decides to go back to the hotel.

He then has to save the hotel from closing by persuading three "ey up, reet grand" northern businessmen to invest in the hotel. Of course, he succeeds and gets the girl.

"Plenty of sunshine coming your way!"
