The Girl in the Taxi is a 1937 British musical comedy film directed by André Berthomieu and starring Frances Day, Henri Garat and Lawrence Grossmith.
[1] It was based on the stage musical The Girl in the Taxi and was part of a trend of operetta films produced during the decade.
In Paris, Baron des Aubrais is the head of The Society for the Reward for Virtue, but at night he becomes a roué, and pursues the same woman admired by his son.
The film was shot at Ealing Studios in London,[2] with sets designed by the art director Jean d'Eaubonne.
In a contemporary review Kine Weekly said "Though it never succeeds in getting very far away from its technical and dramatically dated origins, this screen adaptation of the popular operetta of a quarter of a century ago, when Paris was considered more naughty than it is today, is put over in spirited style by its cast, while the alternately piquant and broadly farcical situations arising from amatory indiscretions, principally at the Mouin Rouge, of the hypocritical old moralist, still carry a fair quota of laughs.
