No, My Darling Daughter

Juliet Mills is a delight in her first film role as an adult in this elephantine but engaging farce embellished with travelogue shots of London & Scotland and an enthusiastic supporting cast led by the always charming Roger Livesey.

It's all very dated, but that works in it's favour apart from the annoying trad jazz score by Norrie Paramor.

About 10 minutes in I realised I'd seen this last year but could remember little of the plot.very pointless plotting I suppose this was the start of teenagers being treated differently but wasn't really funny.

This is a trully abysmal film.The script is awful.Redgrave is miscast.Livesey over acts.like mad.Mills is too old for her part.The music mickey mouse's telling you where you are supposed to laugh.Who is the American actor?Couldn't they afford anyone decent

Rank churned out plenty of this type of 'hilarious' comedy in the late 50's and early 60's, but this is one of the worst. The story looks like something they found in a bottom drawer somewhere and Ralph Thomas directs it as though he just wants it finished as soon as possible. The film is padded out with bits of travelogue as everyone dashes around trying to look funny. Michael Redgrave and Roger Livesey must have been cringing having accepted their roles. Not good.

I don't care what anyone thinks, I adore this movie made by the same producers who made two other movies with Juliet Mills Nurse on Wheels and Twice Round the Daffodils. Its a sweet story of an awkward school girl who manages to win the hearts of two very different men, but chooses the right one at the end. One of the two men is the handsome and very talented Michael Craig who I believe had a successful series in Australia. With Michael Redgrave as Tansy(Juliet Mills) Father and a personal favourite of mine Roger Livesey as Thomas(Michael Craig) father. To younger generations they may take offense to certain scenes, but to me its part and parcel of the story of a film made over 60 years ago. A joy that I am glad to own on DVD.
