The PERFECT WOMAN

The PERFECT WOMAN
   Film (1949). Two Cities/Eagle-Lion. Dir Bernard Knowles, starring Patricia Roc, Stanley Holloway, Nigel Patrick, Miles Malleson, Irene Handl, Pamela Devis, Constance Smith. Screenplay George Black, Knowles, based on the play The Perfect Woman (produced 1948; 1950) by Wallace Geoffrey and Basil Mitchell. 89 mins. B/w.
   An inventor creates a ROBOT inthe image of his niece and hires a young man to take it out on a date as a final test of its believability. But the real girl takes the robot's place during testing, and a conventional but well played farce follows, notable for its underwear fetishism and a sauciness quite close to the rim of what the period regarded as decent. The ending is mildly apocalyptic when the malfunctioning robot marches stiff-legged, spouting sparks and smoke, through a crowded hotel before exploding.
