The Caretaker's Daughter

I saw that some people did not care for this film and though I had not seen the earlier one or the play, I just loved it!

The more I watched the funnier it got! I think that all of the cast were well-chosen and all the mix-ups were so funny! I just love the Scoutmaster and the misunderstandings that arose from the caretaker's daughter being so beautiful. . I usually prefer film noir, but ordered this one, as some of my favorites are in it. I did think Miss Shingler and Derek Bond and Hugh Wakefield as well as Patricia Raine .....etc. were very good. The Scoutmaster's actions are so funny! He runs after one of the ladies that is not pursuing him! I did figure that Derek Bond's character and the antics of masquerading as a woman lead to more problems! I will see if I can get the original film. Just wanted to mention that I really enjoyed the adventure!
