 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Miranda is a 1948 British comedy film starring Glynis Johns in the title role.Meet Paul Martin (Griffith Jones), a wealthy London doctor who's Happily Married to a woman called Clare (Googie Withers). At least in theory; Clare isn't too fond of Paul's frequent holidays to go fishing in Cornwall, so Paul opts to go on his latest one alone. While out in the boat, he falls overboard and is rescued by the eponymous Miranda. A woman with a beautiful singing voice, flowing Rapunzel Hair and quite a thirst for men.Oh and she's got a fish tail.As a mermaid who's never met humans before, Miranda suggests that Paul take her on a trip to London - wrapping her tail up in a long dress and passing her off as a patient. Paul obliges, but Miranda's beauty and casual attitude towards romance causes quite a bit of friction among Paul's chauffeur Charles (David Tomlinson), Clare's painter friend Nigel (John McCallum) and of course Clare herself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film was adapted from a play by Peter Blackmore, who also wrote the screenplay. It was directed by Ken Annakin. Dame Margaret Rutherford stars as Nurse Carey - Miranda's Secret Keeper.

 Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Although 90% of their screen time is spent disagreeing, Nigel and Isobel are shown to truly care for each other - and Isobel feels horrible about destroying Nigel's portrait.

 At the Opera Tonight: Miranda's first wish is to see the opera in London. She asks Paul to take her again, and sings while he's getting her a drink, just so she can say she sang at Covent Garden.
