Brandy for the Parson is a 1952 British comedy film directed by John Eldridge and starring Kenneth More, Charles Hawtrey, James Donald and Jean Lodge.

[2] It was written by Walter Meade, John Dighton and Alfred Shaughnessy based on a short story by Geoffrey Household from Tales of Adventurers (1952).

[7] Audrey Hepburn was originally lined up to play the female lead, but delays in production led to her becoming unavailable and she was replaced by Jean Lodge who was married to the film's screenwriter Alfred Shaughnessy.

[9] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This agreeable comedy is an altogether more hopeful introduction to the work of Group 3 than its first effort, Judgment Deferred: unlike the latter, it was produced under the supervision of John Grierson, and its accent is on young talent both in the direction and the playing.

One would have liked a script with more wit and direction with more humour, but the amusing situations, some excellent playing and the very pleasing location work carry it lightly, unpretentiously through.
