'Holiday is Spain' was originally entitled 'Scent of Mystery' and was a 1960 American mystery film directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Denholm Elliot and Peter Lorre. It was the first film to use the Smell-O-Vision system to release odors at points in the film's plot, and the first film in which aromas were integral to the story, providing important details to the audience. The film was later re-released in Cinerama under the title 'Holiday in Spain' without Smell-O-Vision.
