The Perfect Woman is a 1949 British farce comedy film directed by Bernard Knowles and starring Patricia Roc, Stanley Holloway and Nigel Patrick.
[6] Two Cities' executive producer Earl St John hoped to reunite Holloway, Patrick and Roc for a sequel, The Perfect Man.
It is exceedingly well produced and directed, maintaining an even pace throughout; the dialogue is witty, the background music appropriate, and the whole is a superb piece of nonsensical fun.
Nigel Patrick as Roger Cavendish is a very natural comedian, while Stanley Holloway makes a good stooge.
Miles Malleson portrays the rather lovable but very absent-minded Professor Belmon, and Patricia Roc as Penelope, together with Irene Handl, Fred Berger, David Hurst and the remainder of the cast add their share to the hilarity of the film.
