Wonderful Life stars Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and was made in the days when people believed that pop stars just had to make films.
The Canary Islands provided the exotic background for this film that was dated before it was even released.
In one scene that might not have been exactly Oscar winning material, Cliff is to be seen chasing a camel and then being dragged along through the sand by the same beast, atop of which is, as is often the case, a beautiful veiled lady. It was filmed at the sand dunes of Maspalomas, Gran Canaria.
The Canary Islands also provided the banana plantations that feature inthe film.
