The Girl Who Forgot

This was the last feature directed by Adrian Brunel,albeit that he worked on a few more films in lesser capacities.Given that he had to make this film it shows to what level he had sunk.The other reviewer has summarised this film adequately.I presume this was supposed to be a comedy,in that it fails totally,save for the few times Basil Radford participates.

While daddy Basil Radford and Mummy Jeanne de Cassalis are flying off to Baghdad -- presumably to meet Naunton Wayne -- daughter Elizabeth Allan cracks under the pressure of exams and finds herself with amnesia. She is palmed off by Enid Stamp-Taylor as Muriel Aked's daughter, lest she steal fiance Ralph Michael.

It may have worked well enough as a novel, but I find it all very unlikely -- except the idea that anyone batty enough to marry Basil Radford would be happy to fly off to Baghdad for several months, forgetting she had a daughter. Everyone performs their roles well enough, and Miss Aked is quite amusing as a gradgrinding sort of raiser of funds in the name of good works, but the large number of coincidences and unlikely unlikable personalities that fool everyone but the audience wore out their welcome quickly.
