Plot

Jack Watson, a clerk in a travel agency, is given a holiday to the fictitious Italian fishing village of Palmos. There he meets Mary Rillston, and romance blossoms. However, each mistakenly believes the other is wealthy, and the romance falters. Back in England, they meet again by chance, and love prevails.

Cast

Production

The film was shot at Walton Studios with sets designed by the art director Duncan Sutherland. [1]

Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "Embarrassingly cosy and well-worn comedy-romance, with a song number calling itself 'Dolce Mio' thrown in." [2]

Kine Weekly wrote: "The picture, which titivates its central theme with North Country humour and teenage shenanigans, treads a popular, if well worn, path to its happy ending. Patricia Dainton pleases as Mary, Emrys Jones is adequate as Jack, and Vanda Hudson makes a curvacious Gina. ... As for the staging, the studio stuff and the authentic exteriors match up well, while 'Dolce Mio,' a catchy song number, is an added attraction." [3]
