The Perfect Woman (1949)
Director: Bernard Knowles
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
When Prof Malleson models a revolutionary robot on niece Roc, Messrs Patrick and Holloway take the creation to the West End to prove just how convincing 'she' is. Unfortunately, the tin woman's flesh-and-blood counterpart gets wind of the wheeze, leading to much complication when the boys book 'her' into the bridal suite of a snazzy hotel. Hardly your PC vision of womanhood, but this British farce breezes along happily enough on its own terms.Author: TJ
