Fascinating portrayal of Brits on "vacation" in post war England. Hoards of people are bused to a camp consisting of endless rows of tiny huts. A disembodied voice on the loudspeaker directs them to the dining hall, morning exercise routines and various leisure activities. This camp is more like a carefully controlled military facility. The favorite pastimes are walking around in revealing swimsuits, doing the hokey pokey at one of the nightly dances, losing money in card games or contemplating jumping off a cliff due to an unwanted pregnancy. Oh, did I mention the homicidal maniac on the prowl for his latest victim? You'll have fun at "holiday camp"!
