comment
Making Waves is a 1987 short film (12 minutes) from Great Britain, directed by Jenny Wilkes.A bunch of sixty-ish old ladies get on a bus that is headed to a seaside resort in Yarmouth. One of them, Mrs. Nash, takes along her son Joe (Kenneth Cranham). Everyone wonders why Mrs. Nash keeps such a close eye on her son, so Mrs. Nash explains that Joe has a blood clot that is very slowly working its way to his brain, where it may kill him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Joe seems odd to the point of possibly having a cognitive impairment, but he's handsome, and the old ladies are attracted to him anyway. One, Doris (Sheila Hancock) sneaks into Joe's room one night and crawls into his bed. Joe tells her a shocking secret.

Actually Pretty Funny: The old ladies complain about the slowness of the hotel desk clerk. One says "Are you going to make us sleep on our feet like bleedin' horses?". The clerk shoots back "Not before you've had your oats, darlin'." All the old ladies burst out laughing.

Beautiful Singing Voice: Joe, who is weird and silent and speaks in an odd monotone whenever he does speak, has a lovely singing voice, and he entertains all the old ladies one evening at the bar.
