Last Holiday (1950) by the DVD Man

Normally, I wouldn't review this movie, because you can't really make fun of it. It's a serious comedy with a bittersweet ending. It really is an excellent movie, especially if you like Alec Guinness.

The plot: George Bird is a salesman of agricultural machinery who finds out that he hasn't long to live. He decides to take the last holiday of the film's title and begins to find out that he was a more worthwhile and interesting person than he ever allowed himself to live.

Just one more thing to mention: He falls for a widow and her husband, who was killed in the War was named Frank. So I'm reviewing it because it has a Dead, Unseen Frank and that's good enough for me!
