Last Holiday

Alec Guinness

An ordinary man learns he has a fatal disease, heads for a posh resort for a final fling and finds the richies are just as despicable as he always imagined.

Clever, subtle satire which holds up remarkably well for its age...1950. AC excels as an everyman juggling a complex of emotions. Nice screenwriter's twist at the end brought the theme into sharp focus. Intelligent, entertaining film.
