Last Holiday (1950)

Plot Summary

A mild, unambitious and unsuccessful North-countryman is told by his doctor that he has contracted a fatal disease and has only a month to live. He decides to blow his savings on a visit to an exclusive hotel at a seaside resort. He goes to a tailor who explains the clothing and demeanor he needs. At first, he finds it all very stiff and unenjoyable, but by a series of chance contacts he is offered a number of attractive jobs (which of course, he cannot accept) and enjoys his new life and new self. Among the guests is a doctor who is convinced he must have been misdiagnosed.
