Miranda
A man goes fishing and comes home with a most unusual catch in this comedy feature.
Comedy 1948 80 mins
Overview
This comic fantasy, based on a stage play, imagines what would happen if a mermaid turned up in London society. Played with sparkling humour by Glynis Johns, Miranda charms every man she meets with her frank appreciation of their looks, devoid of the cynicism of modern women. Comedy ensues when her rescuer, a Harley Street doctor, attempts to conceal her true nature, while Margaret Rutherford gives an amusing turn as an eccentric nurse.
