1930s Newquay is the setting for Lewis Rosenberg's film - with horse riding, tennis, girlfriends, much tickling and glorious Cornish beaches

Lewis Rosenberg's holiday film starts with his friends helping in a garden before they begin to lark about. We see them walking through a stream and later making their way to Perranporth Beach for a picnic with their girlfriends. The film moves to Newquay where we see Harry Rochlin and Lewis at an outdoor cafe before a game of tennis. Newquay's Towan Beach, and its cliff suspension footbridge, is seen before we finish with Lewis and Harry riding horses along a rural lane.
