While enjoying a solo fishing expedition, Dr. Paul Martin (Griffith Jones) is captured by a lonely and beautiful mermaid named Miranda (Glynis Johns). She agrees to release him if he will show her the city of London for one month. Dr. Martin convinces his wife, Clare (Googie Withers), that the woman he has brought home in a wheelchair is an invalid patient, but it isn't long before Miranda's strange habits and powers draw the amorous attentions of Dr. Martin's male friends.

...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... Go to Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin 02/06/2018
Here is a pleasant little comedy which brings a welcome change of temper to the contemporary British screen. Go to Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis 07/19/2011

nick s @Nick_S 03/13/2024 Quaint little mermaid movie. Didn't reach any great heights but delivered an interesting tail. See more Frances H 08/03/2016 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! See more 08/12/2014 Whimsical and a little bit daring for its day. See more 04/11/2013 ...a charming bit of fluff, thanks to the efforts of an accomplished British cast. See more 09/02/2011 another fishy rom-com about a lady with a tail (mermaid). See more 11/13/2010 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. See more Read all reviews
