Summer Holiday (1963) is an American International Pictures presentation of a Kenneth Harper production, directed by Peter Yates, with original story and screenplay by Peter Myers and Ronald Cass, choreography and musical numbers directed by Herbert Ross, filmed in Technicolor and CinemaScope.

The vivid heart-shaped poster — with its bold yellow and pink design and cast portraits — is a joyful example of early 1960s British pop musical film advertising art.

Summer Holiday was one of the defining films of early 1960s British pop cinema, following in the wake of Cliff Richard's debut film The Young Ones (1961), and helped establish the template for the British pop musical film genre that would reach its peak with the Beatles films of 1964–65.
