Wonderful Life
After the success of “Summer Holiday”, both the film, second only to Bond’s “From Russia With Love” at the box office, and the soundtrack album which spent 14 weeks at number one, 1964 saw Cliff starring in a third, and final, film musical with The Shadows.
“Wonderful Life” co-starred Susan Hampshire, Una Stubbs, Richard O’Sullivan, and Melvyn Hayes, and was filmed at Elstree and on location in Gran Canaria. Released as “Swingers’ Paradise” in America, the film paid tribute to the history of cinema, from Chaplin to Bond.
Following “Wonderful Life”, Cliff and The Shadows were reunited on film, after a fashion, when they appeared as puppets in the 1966 film “Thunderbirds Are Go”.
