Find the Lady (1956 film)

Find the Lady is a 1956 British comedy film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Donald Houston, Barbara Kelly, and Mervyn Johns. The film follows the antics of a group of Royal Navy sailors on shore leave in London, specifically focusing on their attempts to win a prize offered by a newspaper for finding a specific woman in the crowd at a major event. The plot revolves around mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and the sailors' increasingly elaborate schemes to locate the "lady" in question. The humor is typical of British comedies of the era, relying on slapstick, misunderstandings, and situational irony. The film is considered a minor work within British cinema history but provides a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of post-war London.
