This movie is billed as a comedy but there are precious few laughs to be had in it. A precocious and spoilt French brat (Mai Zetterling) seduces a rather stupid male teacher (a dull Hugh Williams) for a lark. The teacher is saved by his devoted daughter (a winsome young Petula Clark) but you really want to kick her father downstairs for being such an ass. Zetterling's accent is quite awful and she really is, as scripted, most tiresome, so it would have come as a moment of great satisfaction at the end to audiences of the day when the butler - fed up with her persistent brattiness - takes her over his knee and spanks her pert bottom very soundly with a hairbrush. So after about three other people during the course of the movie (no doubt to the agreement of the contemporary audience) telling her she needs a good spanking, she finally gets what she deserves as the camera fades out.. A happy finale in 1949. Today it wouldn't doubt have resulted in censorship and a prolonged court case.
