Sam's Birthday
Master of the monologue Stanley Holloway salutes his wondrous and capacious new suitcase in this magical advertising film.
Overview
Splendidly in character as his immortal creation Sam Small, master of the comic monologue Stanley Holloway here sings the praises of his marvellous new suitcase in this advert in rhyme for spacious Revelation luggage. The modern day Advertising Standards Authority might have something to say about the trick ending of this entertaining and imaginative film - which sees the Revelation Suitcase Company make a rather astounding claim about their product.
