The Lyons in Paris
The Lyons in Paris is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Val Guest and starring Ben Lyon, Bebe Daniels and Reginald Beckwith. It was a sequel to the 1954 film Life with the Lyons, and was shot at Southall Studios, though some genuine Paris location shots were used. The screenplay was formed by combining the plots of three of the radio scripts together. Filming began on June 28, 1954 and ended July 26th. The success of this film made Val Guest Hammer's top director.
