Try and find a copy of Miranda (1948). It's a great film.
Doctor Paul Martin (Griffith Jones) is on a fishing holiday and he catches a mermaid! Or rather she catches him. But she wants to find out about the world of humans so Paul takes her back to London, pretending she's a patient who can't walk. Paul's wife (Googie Withers) and chauffeur (David Tomlinson) get tangled up in Miranda's schemes. But perhaps the most fun is had by Margaret Rutherford playing the nurse they hire to look after Miranda.

Don't bother with the follow-up, Mad About Men (1954). That's nowhere near as good.

Hi All in addition to the fact that in a lot of cases the staff don't know a fat lot in HMV, there is that incessant loud jungle music playing so that you can hardly consentrate on what you are doing, they ought to provide a pair of ear defenders for those not wishing to have their hearing damaged, or at least have a health warning at the entrance.

Indeed, more than once I have wandered round in a daze forgetting what I went in there for. Dreadful place to be honest but about the only shop on the High Street with a decent range of DVD's (not that I often indulge at those prices!).

I went into HMV earlier this year looking for Sophia Loren's, The Pride and the Passion. Seeing none on the sides, I asked a member of staff when it was due in. He said within the next 3 weeks. I came back 3 weeks later and it still wasn't there. I then gave my mother, who was going to WHSmiths, the order. She came back and the order receipt said £12.99! I was speechless. But it arrived in 3 days and I loved it. I recently looked on HMV.Com for it, just to see what their web price was and it said £4.99!! Aaah well, I ain't bothered anyways, at least Sophia Loren was in it!!
