Sinopsis
Cuando George Bird, un vendedor de maquinaria agrícola, descubre un día que le queda poco tiempo de vida, decide disfrutar al máximo de sus últimos meses. Saca todos sus ahorros del banco y se va a un lujoso hotel, donde no pierde ocasión de hacer negocios, puesto que en su situación nada tiene que perder, de modo que está dispuesto a correr cualquier riesgo. (FILMAFFINITY)
Last Holiday is a 1950 British film featuring Alec Guinness in his sixth starring role. The low-key, dark comedy was written and co-produced by J. B. Priestley and directed by Henry Cass, featuring irony and wit often associated with Priestley.
Upon its New York City November 1950 release, Bosley Crowther called it an "amusing and poignant little picture" that is "simple and modest in structure but delightfully rich in character."
It was released in DVD format by Janus Films and The Criterion Collection under license from Studio Canal in June 2009, but was dropped from their catalogs in 2011.
A loose remake of the same name was released in 2006, starring Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, LL Cool J, Timothy Hutton, Alicia Witt, and Gérard Depardieu.
Joe Versus the Volcano, is another film about a misdiagnosed protagonist. (Wikipedia)
Told by his doctor he has no more than a few months to live, drab British workingman George Bird (Alec Guinness) decides to spend his savings on lodging at a seaside resort. Once there, however, he finds his identity caught between upstairs and downstairs, the guests and the “help.” A droll social commentary as well as an unpredictable dark comedy about life, death, and luck, Last Holiday is one of Guinness’s finest moments. (Criterion)

He ripeado el DVD5 de Criterion que Sadistic subió a Cinemageddon y le he sincronizado el audio de la copia de aguadulce, aunque al pedírsela no sabia que estaba en español latino, chileno para ser más exactos. Pensaba ripear mi copia del pase por Cine-Classics con subs en español por si alguien los quería extraer, pero mientras buscaba copias VO para la sincro me encontré con que mfccorrea había subido a TPB un copia con subs en inglés, español y portugués. Parecen traducidos de los ingleses porque son distintos de los de Cine-Classics, parecen más literales, pero también automáticos. Con ellos he visto los primeros minutos y dejan mucho que desear. Aunque antes del posteo he visto que felipemarlou los había subido a Subdivx, os pongo el enlace, porque hay un delay de 39 segundos con el ripeo que os presento. Si alguien quiere ponerse con ellos en serio puedo postear la copia de Cine-Classics.
