Every Day's a Holiday (1965 film)

Every Day's a Holiday (US title Seaside Swingers) is a 1965 British musical comedy film directed by James Hill and starring John Leyton, Mike Sarne, Ron Moody, Grazina Frame, and Freddie and the Dreamers.

[citation needed] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "On the debit side are the near absence of plot, the heavy obviousness or leering suggestiveness of the humour, the over-acting of the older players in their trite roles, the embarrassing inability of many of the singers to dance more than a few easy steps, and the prolonged and irrelevant Wild West dream sequence.

John Leyton is the nominal star of this talent-show farrago, although the musical headliners are Freddie and the Dreamers, who were trying to match the movie achievements of the Beatles in A Hard Day's Night.

However, no film with cinematography by Nicolas Roeg can be dismissed out of hand, and Ron Moody and Liz Fraser provide accomplished comic support.

The mediocrity of the acting is obvious, but it is outweighed by the genuinely infectious enthusiasm put into their jobs by the cast and some useful contributions by choreographer Gillian Lynne and composer Tony Osborne.
