MAD ABOUT MEN, 1954

MAD ABOUT MEN
1954

Peter Blackmore scripted this weak whimsical fantasy, a Technicolor sequel to 1948's "Miranda" which had been based upon Blackmore's play. Glynis Johns returns as the romantic-minded mermaid who swims in the waters off Cornwall; she chances to meet her human twin, a distant relative and school-mistress who is about to be married to a stuffy engineer. While Caroline is away on a bicycling tour, Miranda has fun taking her place on land. With the help of her friend Nurse Carey, Miranda feigns an injury that keeps her wheelchair-bound... or more often needing to be carried by a man. And the ever flirtatious Miranda certainly knows how to attract all the men of the village!
