Sinopsis:

Cliff in Color!: The Technicolor Musicals of Cliff Richard brings together three hit-packed Technicolor musicals starring British rock ’n’ roll sensation Cliff Richard, accompanied by the Shadows, and some of British cinema’s best-loved stars, including Robert Morley, Carole Gray, Una Stubbs, Susan Hampshire, Melvyn Hayes, and Richard O’Sullivan. 

In 1961’s The Young Ones (originally released in the US as Wonderful to Be Young), Cliff leads a talent show in order to save his youth club from a ruthless property developer. 1963’s Summer Holiday sees Cliff and his chums borrow a double-decker bus for a cross-European road trip. And 1964’s Wonderful Life(titled Swingers’ Paradise stateside) has a shipwrecked Cliff and the Shadows stumble onto a film set. 

Featuring the directing talents of Sidney J Furie (The Ipcress File) and Peter Yates (Murphy’s War), this box set also includes the Shadows’ 1964 short film Rhythm ’n’ Greens.
