Selsey Pavilion Archives: 1950-1959
PAVILION, SELSEY. SUPPORTING the Technicolor film "SON OF ALI BABA." starring Tony Curtis and Piper Laurie. " THE YOUNG LOVERS," is the story of two young people who meet by chance, fall deeply in love, only to discover there is "no third place" for their love. He belongs to one side of the Iron Curtain, she on the other. They both work for their governments--together they can never be, says the divided world. David Knight portrays an American working for the United States Embassy in London, Odile Versois is the daughter of the Russian ambassador. Featuring for the last part of the week is "TOUCH AND GO," the light-hearted story of the problems that beset an ordinary English family, when the father of the house resigns from a good job and decides that, with his wife and teenage daughter, he will emigrate to Australia. The confusion of selling the household furniture, interviewing prospective tenants, the infuriating (for father) business of calming irate parents-in-law, and the tricky problem of selling the old family car to the next-door neighbour, are all portrayed in amusing fashion. Last minute complications arise when the daughter of the house meets a handsome young engineering student and wants to stay behind in England and marry, and it is from this point that it becomes "touch and go" whether they do in fact leave. Jack Hawkins and Margaret Johnston are starred.
