흥미로운 사실

Holiday Camp is a 1947 British comedy drama film directed by Ken Annakin, starring Flora Robson, Jack Warner, Dennis Price, and Hazel Court, and also features Kathleen Harrison and Jimmy Hanley. It is set at one of the then-popular holiday camps. It was the first film to feature the Huggett family, who went on to star in The Huggetts film series.

Production

Camp exteriors were shot at Butlin's, Filey. The opening scenes of a train arriving at a seaside cliff-top station and of the passengers boarding buses outside the station were filmed at Sandsend railway station.

Sydney Box used the film to introduce several new actresses, including Susan Shaw and Hazel Court. It was Diana Dors' second film appearance. She was only fifteen years old and Annakin says "she had terrific joi de vivre and radiated sex... she was bursting with love for everyone and every living thing."

Some brief moments of Warner and Harrison exercising from the film, and Michael Shepley playing golf, were re-used at the beginning of Into the Blue (1950).

Annakin says the release of the film was threatened by Billy Butlin, who was unhappy with the plot about a murderer frequenting the camp, and said he would cause legal trouble. However, Annakin discovered that people often drowned in the pools at Butlin’s Camps and threatened to leak this information to the press. Butlin then backed off.
