Thanks for the heads up. Don't remember if the shads are in it but I'll watch it just in case.

If you can't wait for next Sunday, you may find that Time Drags By!

The Shadows feature in it very prominently, more so than the other films. I first saw this 40 years ago in 1982 at a Christian Arts Centre in Grimsby! It is not often shown on TV. Personally, I think it's a good film with great songs.

Finders, Keepers (1967) on Sunday at 1.40pm. Stars Cliff Richard and The Shadows. Cliff and the boys arrive in Spain to give a concert, but find the whole town deserted. The population has run away, fearful of an unexploded bomb. Our heroes set out to find the bomb and restore order, performing a few songs on the way.

The info on channel 326 says staring Cliff Richard, Brian Bennett and John Rostill!

I still find it puzzling why the publishing date of 1967 is mentioned so often in relation to this film. "Finder Keepers" was made in 1966 and released in England in early December of the same year.

The highlight of the film has to be a nightclub scene where The Shadows sing My Way with greenburst Burns Marvins. They also sing the title song with Cliff near the beginning, and the Time Drags By sequence is quite good. They have a bit more dialogue than in Cliff's previous films.

I think this is also the scene in which Carole (Hank's second wife) can be seen dancing. Is Carole the woman with the blue pants, the ponytails and the white headband, who smiles at Hank during the song? She can be seen at 0:47 into the clip:

Well, I never knew that. Thanks, Ivo!

Bruce is wearing his shades, too!
