Editorial Reviews

Informed that he has only a short time to live, salesman Alec Guinness decides to enjoy his last months to the fullest in Last Holiday. He withdraws all his savings from the bank and heads to a posh hotel. Here he makes more contacts and opens more professional doors than he'd ever done before, thanks to his willingness -- at long last -- to take risks. He also spends every penny that he's earned in life. Then he discovers that the doctor's diagnosis was in error, and that he's in no danger of imminent death. An ironic ending caps this fast-paced black comedy. Last Holiday was co-written and co-produced by J. B. Priestly, author of many other "if I had to do it all over again" pieces, notably An Inspector Calls. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Another Alec Guinness Gemby Anonymous

August 10, 2009: If you are just browsing the website, you might miss the fact that this is an Alec Guinness film, since they have neglected to mention his name in the cast description; an unfortunate oversight, to say the least, since he plays the role of the main character. His performance is splendid, as usual, and the supporting cast is excellent as well. The humor is subtle within the context of a thought-provoking film; very British and very brilliant. A must for all those who cherish the extraordinary talent of Alec Guinness.
