...sweet and saucy, disrupting and enlivening the staid existence of the middle-aged men (Griffith Jones) who discover her. Played for comedy, it was mermaid as mid-life crisis...

Here is a pleasant little comedy which brings a welcome change of temper to the contemporary British screen.

...all very light and frothy fun, with none of it very memorable but all of it reasonably pleasant.

Rated: 6/10

Suggestive yet always genteel, 'Miranda' is as beguiling as its title character...

Rated: 3.5/4

Quaint little mermaid movie. Didn't reach any great heights but delivered an interesting tail.

As a child I loved seeing this cute British comedy about the lovely mermaid who charmed all of the men with whom she came into contact . Later, Glynis Johns and David Tomlinson would star in another charming movie--Disney's Mary Poppins. Both were favorites!

Charming bit of whimsy with a bewitching Glynis Johns, a droll Googie Withers and a delightfully addled Margaret Rutherford. It's all a bit of silliness but suspend your disbelief and go along for a most enjoyable ride.
