What happens

Miranda is a 1948 British fantasy comedy film directed by Ken Annakin and written by Peter Blackmore, who also wrote the play of the same name from which the film was adapted. The film stars Glynis Johns, Googie Withers, Griffith Jones, Margaret Rutherford, John McCallum and David Tomlinson. Denis Waldock provided additional dialogue. Music for the film was played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Muir Mathieson. The sound director was B. C. Sewell. The black-and-white film follows Miranda Trewella, a beautiful and playful mermaid and her effect on the men and women she meets, as she outrageously flirts with and flatters every man she meets. Johns and Rutherford reprised their roles in the 1954 colour sequel, Mad About Men. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
