      Nurse Carey: Is he married?

      Percy: No - I reckon he's too wise.

      Nurse Carey: I don't know what you mean by that.

      Percy: Well he'd rather make several ladies happy than one miserable.

    Miranda Mark II
    I saw both this film and it's predecessor the charming "Miranda" in one sitting late at night and have to say I found both delightful. But the second in the series was a little bit more fun.

    I don't know if the censorship was loosened between the two films but in Mad About Men , Miranda's character is far more suggestive and the jokes and sexual banter is far more risky (though nothing compared to today's standards.)

    As with the 1st film, this one really shines when we see the women reacting to Miranda's siren ways and of course Margaret Rutherford as the natty nurse Carrie is splendid as always.

    Mermaids make great movies, there should be more of them!
