Feel-good movie from 1949 - both enchanting and entertaining. An all-star cast in this, with Petula Clark as top of the bill!
Pet Clark plays an unruly daughter of a wealthy and famous stage actor. Feeling neglected and looking for excitement, she takes advantage of an unexpected situation, and 'becomes' kidnapped using her own machinations! Almost falling for the younger of the two 'kidnappers' (a rather nice Jimmy Hanley) she eventually has to call the whole thing off to spare his true love.
Other big names in this include; Linden Travers, Anthony Newley, Maurice Denham and Dandy Nichols.
A lovely cinematic gem that is long overdue for release on DVD.

Jimmey Hanley stars as a car salesman, whose Grandfather (Edward Rigby) is a life long crook. Having just got out of jail, Grandfather feels he has to prove he still has what it takes, & so kidnaps the daughter (Petula Clark) of a famous actor. Unfortunately for the two men, once Grandad has kidnapped the girl, they cannot get rid of her. The girl enjoys the chance to be more of an adult, as her father doesn't want his public to know about her. The father, whose carrer has been on the slide, finds his latest play benefits from all the publicity. And the girls friend, (Anthony Newley) also wants his share of the attention.
While not expecting much, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It is funny, & original, & had that feel good factor about it. I now look forward to watching this film again, & again.

This dated but likable British comedy features Petula Clark who blackmails a ex-con into kidnapping her in order to get her actor fathers attention. Seeing all the fun she is getting from this Anthony Newley soon wants in on the act too! Singing stars Newley and Clark would also appear together in Vice Versa before years later teaming up again in Vegas as the giant stars they had become at Ceasers Palace.
