That Riviera Touch

1966 classic Eric and Ernie. For the those of us that love the duo it's brilliant. Typical comedy from the 1960's. If you don't like this family fun then I just don't know.

This is not as funny as The Intelligence Men' but a better film and contains the gorgeous Suzanne Lloyd.

The French Riviera is the setting and its a good story about two bumbling blokes on holiday who get involved in a diamond theft, Its well acted and the stunts are good, at least they have French actors playing French characters.

The photography and scenery is very good and its well directed, ignore the negative reviews, they are idiots who don't know their arse from their elbows.

This is how comedy film should be made, with style.

I saw this movie many years ago and it has remained my favourite comedy to this day, the two main characters of the movie are Eric and Ernie, great British comedians of their day. Eric can make me laugh just by looking at him. This movie is a classic and is well worth watching. Filmed on the Riviera, as the title infers, one funny thing after another befalls the pair, in the spy-like way of James Bond etc. Great fun non stop laughter,

That riviera touch, equally on par with the other 2 Morecambe and Wise films from the 1960s.

Why are the IMDB scores so low for them?

I think they are great.

See if you can spot Alexandra Bastedo from the Champions fame.

9 out of 10.

Perhaps the most loved of the trilogy of films that the TV stars made. This one has a real lightness of touch in the story of a holiday that goes awry when our bumbling heroes get caught up in an unlikely spy ring. Not the funniest film I've ever seen, but the supporting cast is strong and if you like the stars then you'll like this one.
