BBC Two

Two generations of stars are featured in this 1962 production from 20th Century-Fox. James Stewart plays the hapless Mr Hobbs in fine laconic style - a banker who discovers the perils of a family vacation by the seaside in a broken-down villa with a large and fractious family. It turns out to be a holiday that no one will ever forget!
