Ticket to Paradise is a 1961 British second feature romance film directed by Francis Searle and starring Emrys Jones, Patricia Dainton and Vanda Hudson.[1]

Plot

Jack Watson, a clerk in a travel agency, is given a holiday to the fictitious Italian fishing village of Palmos. There he meets Mary Rillston, and romance blossoms. However, each mistakenly believes the other is wealthy, and the romance falters. Back in England, they meet again by chance, and love prevails.

Cast

Production

The film was shot at Walton Studios with sets designed by the art director Duncan Sutherland.[1]

Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "Embarrassingly cosy and well-worn comedy-romance, with a song number calling itself 'Dolce Mio' thrown in."[2]
