Holiday's with Pay

Frank Randle is back, traveling with his family - wife Tessie O'Shea, brother Dan Young and daughter Sally Barnes - to holiday in Blackpool. This one has a plot, as Miss Barnes falls in love with Sonny Burke. To inherit something or other, he must spend an evening in a haunted house, so the entire crew winds up there. There's also a subplot about Burke's cousin, who wants to inherit, but like the other Randle movies, that inconvenience is handwaved away by the end.

It's not really a Randle vehicle. It lacks the elaborate, bawdy comedy sketches the others borrow from his stage act. Indeed, a lot of the comedy is provided by Young. Two songs by Miss O'Shea have disappeared from the print, but there is a good montage of the holiday delights of Blackpool, including the crowded beaches and the amusement park features. If you're looking for Randle, you may be disappointed, but what remains is a decent, if unremarkable comedy with some decent documentary footage.
