'Wonderful Life' provides a most welcome and divinely titillating, mood-raising tonic!
13 March 2022
Cult Film-maker Sidney J. Furie's epically eccentric, fabulously far-flung and marvellous musical comedy remains a riotous, sun-drenched seaside spectacular, positively teaming with warmly-fuzzy holiday romance vibes, exotic excitements, fleet-footed dancing delirium, unbound youthful high spirits and sublime slapstick silliness! This is Cliff Richard as you've NEVER seen him before, unless, er, you HAVE seen him like this before, natch!!!! In these increasingly rum times, unrepentantly joyous filmic fripperies like 'Wonderful Life' (1964) provide a most welcome and divinely titillating, mood-raising tonic! The charismatic actor Walter Slezak is on especially fine form, and the devastatingly luminous screen siren Susan Hampshire is ALWAYS a rare feast for the eyes!
