Interesting facts

The Cure for Love is a 1949 British comedy film directed and produced by Robert Donat and starring Donat, Renée Asherson and Dora Bryan. It was written by Albert Fennell, Alexander Shae and Donat, based on the 1945 hit play of the same name by Walter Greenwood about a mild-mannered soldier returning home after the Second World War.

Production

Donat had appeared in the stage play in 1945. In 1948 it was announced he would make a film version for Alexander Korda. It was his sole feature credit as director, although he had directed on stage.

Francis Wignall was chosen out of 3,000 boys to play a lead role. Donat battled ill health during pre-production. The film was shot at Shepperton Studios, with sets designed by the art director Wilfred Shingleton.
