Don't know why Stewart granger gets so much negativity. I thought he played the comedy well indeed he always seemed to play every part with a twinkle in his eye the only fault with the film is the bloated script.
A dull and daft storyline which plods along and hence fails to generate any interest. Plus with the cliched dialogue and with Stewart Granger, trying, and failing miserably to be witty and debonair, condemns this film as no more than a very average pot boiler. The film needed a Carry Grant as the male lead, whereas Granger's attempt to play the swashbuckling member of the landed gentry never quite comes off. Some good cameo parts with Ronald Squire and Michael Medwin trying to hold the film together, but even their efforts can't save it from being a mediocre B film.
In 1949 the great Fench actress Edwige Feuillere made her English-speaking debut in this silly comedy. It was a commercial and critical flop, and she returned to France feeling, perhaps, a little bruised. Thereafter we could read of her brilliance in the Sunday paper reviews of drama critic Harold Hobson, who idolised her. Seeing the film again (58 years on!) I am struck by her style and good humour and her easy command of English. She's not particularly sexy, but golly, she has class. Trouper Stewart Granger toils gamely to sustain the humour, but Mlle Feuillere walks away with the film: what a pity it wasn't worth walking away with!
Ironically prefaced by Talking Pictures with the warning the film "contains discriminatory language which some viewers may find offensive", the cartoons accompanying the credits are probably the only amusing thing about this damp squid. Although she enjoyed making it, it proved the only English-language film by that gallic enchantress Edwige Feullere (huge in France but still shamefully little-known this side of the Channel), since she understandably confined herself to sophisticated continental fare thereafter.
Both Feullere and Granger are actually well-cast as a glamorous film star and an abrasive misogynist, but Granger later recalled that "After my disastrous experience with that lovely French actress, Edwige Feullere, in 'Woman Hater', I knew comedy wasn't exactly my line". And I'm not going to argue with that!
Enlivened by familiar faces (including Ronald Squire unusually without his moustache), it looks good but - with the ominous name of Nicholas Phipps among the writers - sounds terrible, including a twee score that renders it even less amusing than it already is.

What a charming and funny film. It was a real treat to see our wonderful Stewart Granger in a comedy, that apparently he really wanted to make as a change. He is very good too and has good comic timing that we, sadly, don't see anywhere else.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizStewart Granger very much wanted to make this film as it gave him the chance to appear in a comedy. However the critical response to his performance was unfavorable.
- BlooperWhen Colette Marly is pretending to be drowning in the lake she holds on to her rowing-boat, that has been deliberately capsized by her, keeps crying out for help so that Lord Terence Datchett jumps into the water and swims towards her wanting to rescue her, and at one moment she stretches her left foot out of the water revealing it to be naked. She removes her foot under water, the Lord reaches her, tries to save her, but she again deliberately behaves so clumsily that His Lordship bumps his skull against the boat's planks and loses consciousness so that Colette is now forced to save him on behalf of which she grabs his chin and throat with both hands,slips her body under his, uses only her legs and feet for swimming and both her hands for keeping his head above the water. When reaching the lake's shore, she grabs both his armpits,pulls him out of the water and lays him down on the ground seating herself next to him and revealing that both her feet are covered almost completely by shoes! As she did not have the slightest opportunity to put on her shoes she had been obviously not wearing in the water or to carry them with her when swimming through the lake this is a Continuity-Mistake.
