Enjoyable but an oddity
When I was a child in the 70's, there were lots of Cliff Richard films on like "Summer Holiday", "The Young Ones " and "Wonderful Life" full of the same supporting actors singing songs for mums and dads making him an "alrounder entertainer". Then the 60's moved on and these films went out of fashion and Cliff made the bizarre "Finders Keepers" about a discarded bomb, that was probably only on TV once on a Bank Holiday in 1972. "Two a Penny" is an oddity, that I dont think was ever on TV and features Cliff Richard playing a bad guy for once. His girlfriend attends a Billy Graham convention and finds God, but the character Cliff plays is not convinced. Hers is the problem with the film, is it a film to promote Billy Graham, or is it an chance for Cliff to play a bag guy? The whole thing comes across as a script for the TV show "Budgie", with Cliff Richard playing the Adam Faith part. I enjoyed it, dont get me wrong, but was confused why they made it in the first place? Recommended, but it remains an oddity!
