Synopsis

That Riviera Touch (1966) box art In this fitfully amusing comedy, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise head for the south of France in what starts out looking like a customised remake of the old Laurel and Hardy comedy Saps at Sea. But Eric and Ernie's regular writers, Sid Green and Dick Hills, quickly run into the problem that blighted all three of their movies; the pair's relaxed, intimate style may have been perfect for the sketch format of their TV show, but it was totally wrong for sustaining narratives. Jewel heists, speed-boat chases and a cliffhanging finale are all here, but there aren't enough laughs.
