# The Man Who Loved Redheads (1955)

1955 · 100 min · Comedy · United Kingdom


## Synopsis

The Man Who Loved Redheads is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Harold French and starring Moira Shearer, John Justin and Roland Culver. The film is written by Terence Rattigan based on his play Who Is Sylvia? (1950) which is reputedly a thinly veiled account of the author's philandering father. The film follows the play fairly closely, its main difference being the turning of Sylvia into a redhead.
