फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Neagle's husband produced most of Neagle's films and by teaming her with Wilding, had a good thing going for some time in the 1940s. Here Wilding is a broke aristocrat, a bit of a playboy, who intends to collect money from this inheritance, but is distracted from this when he meets the lovely co-owner, Neagle. The plot is entirely predictable, but enjoyable, all the same. He sets out to help make the salon a success so they can all make money. He and Neagle dance and romance (Wilding was marvelous at provocative little asides and quick quips), and there is a big fashion show as climax.
I always felt this couple was sort of a heavy-footed version of Astaire-Rogers. They usually began with some sort of misunderstanding or she hates him immediately or identities were mistaken, or some such device, and then all that sexual tension until they dance and romance blooms. I recommend this--not because it is a particularly good movie (it isn't), but because of Wilding's charm and wit. I adored him in British movies, and was so disappointed in his American movie career. They hadn't a clue what to do with him in the US, and so his career declined and was basically over by the time Taylor divorced him. What a shame. He made one US film, directed by Hitchcock, which gave you a hint of the charmer he had been, Stage Fright, with Jane Wyman and Marlene Dietrich.
As for Neagle, well she went on in such froth as this, long past her prime, but producer-husband Herbert Wilcox looked after her well, and she was a British favorite. She reacted well with Wilding, but I often found her bland.
On the plus side it is in glorious colour and the fact the plot is set in a late 1940s fashionable Mayfair lady's clothes salon gives the director an opportunity to show fashion models literally stepping out of the pages of contemporary fashion journals.That scene reminded me of "Cover Girl" (1945) with Rita Hayworth & Gene Kelly, when glamorous models likewise appear and step out of American fashion magazines.Nice to see a young Thora Hird playing a secretary and Tom Walls playing a policeman.Its a harmless bit of froth and in my opinion only worth 5/10.The actors in "Spring in Park Lane" were effectively reprising their roles, especially the slow motion dancing of Dame Anna with Michael Wilding
Likewise Peter Graves and Michael Wilding's cousin "once removed" are reprising their almost identical role in "Spring in Park Lane".

- ट्रिवियाThis film received a landmark color television presentation in Philadelphia, Saturday 6 October 1956, on WFIL (Channel 6), as Ford Film Playhouse's promotional introduction to the new line of 1957 Fords; at this time color TV was still in its infancy, usually limited to special presentations, most often on the National Broadcasting Company's affiliated stations, of which WFIL was not the local representative. Vintage feature films, which may have been original filmed in Technicolor, even comparatively recent ones like this one, which was only seven years old at the time, were not considered worthy of this special treatment, with added costs passed along to the sponsors, so were normally only shown in B&W. In this case, since the film was of British origin, there was not the problem of all the automobiles being of noticeable vintage, since British automotive styles were less familiar to American audiences, and more difficult to date. However, the years had not been kind to the so-called "New Look" women's fashions of 1948-1949 so prominently displayed, and which by 1956 had long since become the "Old Look."
