Last Holiday

Last Holiday is a 1950 black comedy starring Alec Guinness in fine form as George Bird, a mild-mannered salesman, who's been told by his doctor that he only has a short time left to live. Determined not to waste his final days, he decides to go on one last holiday to live the rest of his life to the full.

Written by renowned novelist, left-wing broadcaster and playwright J.B. Priestley, Last Holiday is a timeless parable on the notion that life is not just about how long you live, but how well.

First released: Monday 9th March 2020
