Review of Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948) by Nate T — 18 Apr 2015
In August of 1948 the Yanks released their own fantasy about a man (who's seeing a doctor) catching a mermaid. Many of the jokes and plot elements used in the Brit movie, "Miranda", manage to show up in this American production (quelle surprise!) yet the pace is slower, the production matter-of-fact, the overall aim different (and even sleazy at times!), resulting in a piece with less charisma.
Powell gives his all, but Blyth steals the effort entirely with no lines whatsoever and she is the reason to watch this.
