Holiday Camp (1947)

The Huggetts have their first telephone installed, sleep rough on The Mall whilst waiting for the Royal Wedding and deal with a fire at the 'Oatibix' factory.

“ザ・フー”の傑作ロック・オペラの映画化で、舞台での上演を想定して製作したレコードが大元。先の大戦で空軍パイロットの夫に先立たれ、ノーラは息子トミーと訪ねた夏のキャンプのガイド、フランクと再婚。が、ある夜、顔にひどい火傷を負い突如帰還した前夫に錯乱したフランクは彼を殴り倒し、それをトミーに見られてしまう……。

Life is not going well for the Huggetts. Father has lost his job. Jimmy and his wife cannot get to South Africa where he has a new job. So the family decide that they should go to South Africa by truck. With their travelling companion they travel across the desert which includes a brush with the law.

Timmy Lea and his brother-in-law Sidney Noggett are working as entertainment officers at Funfrall, a typical British holiday camp. The staff are lazy and inefficient, preferring to laze by the pool rather than organise activities for the holiday campers. A new owner, Mr. Whitemonk, an ex-prison officer, takes over the camp and is determined to install discipline into the staff. He is on the verge of dismissing Timmy and Sidney; however, Sidney's suggestion of organising a beauty contest changes his mind.

A troubled family's problems come to a head during a stay in a seaside town.

A firm of solicitors do battle with the head of the local council over a parcel of river front land, owned by the Huggett family, in order to build a lido/community center.
