He decides to send his wayward offspring to England to improve his English. In exchange, Philippe’s host, a wealthy whisky distiller, Mac Farrel, will send his daughter, Shirley, to live with the Bosquiers in France. However, Philippe has already decided to spend the summer holidays on a yacht with his friends, so he sends a fellow student, Michonnet, to England in his place. The deception is soon discovered but things go from bad to worse when Philippe and Shirley fall in love and fly to Scotland to get married...

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A breezy 1960s comedy of escalating chaos born from a simple lie, where a spoiled son's scheme to avoid studying spirals delightfully into an international romantic escapade. It's a light-hearted romp that captures the carefree spirit of youth outwitting authority.
