The Man Who Loved Redheads

Titian-haired screen icon Moira Shearer takes centre-stage to play multiple roles in this ravishing romantic comedy, adapted by Terence Rattigan from his stage play Who Is Sylvia? and co-starring Roland Culver, Denholm Elliott and Harry Andrews.

Mark St. Neots, a young peer and a junior member of the Foreign Office, is a man destined for a long and distinguished career in the Diplomatic Corps. Mark, however, is obsessed by a face: that of Sylvia, a 16-year-old redheaded girl whom, in his boyhood, he vowed he would love to eternity. Although many years have passed since he made the promise and he is now a respectably married man, Mark has never forgotten the face that symbolises his ideal woman...
