Last Holiday

A charming, moving and incisive dramedy. A man with only a short time to live quits his dreary job and goes to spend his last days in an upper-crust resort hotel. Although the story does contain a few trite "life lessons", for the most part it's not too cloying, and the upstairs/downstairs class differences are handled very well. Alec Guinness is of course magnificent in the lead, but the supporting actors are all quite good too. Just an all-around fine movie.

This was right up my alley, but that tease at the end was just mean!

As Últimas Férias estreava há 70 anos em Londres. Apesar der um tanto óbvio - inclusive ironia final do destino - é um bom pequeno drama para observar os tipos humanos que transitam pelo hotel, das quais a figura de Guinness é gigantesca como usual. BluraRip RARBG.

"Alec Guinness is one of classic cinema's truly genuine curiosities." - Joseph Jon Lanthier
