That Riviera Touch

April 2021

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.

First time hearing about Eric & Ernie.

The two get mixed up with jewel thieves on their vacation in France.

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.

Maybe you have to be a Morecambe and Wise fan like me, but I loved this film so much. The comic duo find themselves in the midst of a jewel theft and a beautiful woman, Claudette. One of the most entertaining scenes in this film is when Morecambe accidentally wins a massive amount of money at a casino. Gags are plenty in this film, but occasionally, when Morecambe and Wise aren't on the screen, it gets ever so slightly over-serious. But this is just one tinsey handicap of a very funny film. If you get bored with Morecambe and Wise (not very likely) then you can enjoy the beautiful French Riviera scenery (the film was actually filmed there). Enjoy! 9/10

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.
