Josephine and Men is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Roy Boulting and starring Glynis Johns, Jack Buchanan, Donald Sinden and Peter Finch.
However, Alan introduces her to his old school friend, David Hewer, an aspiring playwright living in squalor, unable to finish a play.
He explains that his business partner has committed fraud, and although Alan claims innocence, his signature appears on incriminating documents.
After taken to the station, they learn that Alan's partner has been found dead, having apparently committed suicide and left a note taking full responsibility for the fraud.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Nigel Balchin's script is decidedly limp, and Josephine and Men contains most of the traditional jokes of British screen comedy.
"[3] Variety wrote: "There's not a great deal of substance in this British comedy made by the Boulting Bros, but a topweight local cast gives it considerable marquee strength here ...
The story is related in a series of continuous flashbacks by Jack Buchanan, the girl's bachelor uncle who is forever on the run from amorous ladies.
"[4] Britmovie wrote, "the lightweight and stagey story is framed in flashback by the debonair Jack Buchanan’s narration but fails to exude any humour or convincing romance.
