Mad About Men is a 1954 British Technicolor comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas and starring Glynis Johns, Donald Sinden, Anne Crawford and Margaret Rutherford. It was written by Peter Blackmore, who also wrote the 1948 film Miranda which preceded Mad About Men. Johns appears in both films as the mermaid Miranda Trewella (she is also Caroline Trewella in the film). However, Rank Films insisted it was not a sequel.

It had both positive and negative reviews

• AllMovie praised it as a "delightful sequel to the saucy British comedy-fantasy Miranda."

• Kine Weekly wrote: "Jolly and exciting Technicolor extravaganza. ... Glynis Johns, clever and resourceful in the dual role, is equally at home on land and water. Margaret Rutherford excels as a wily old nanny, and the male cast, also hand picked, never lets up. The settings, too, are most effective, and the climax brilliantly engineered. Excellent light fare."

• The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This sequel to Miranda follows much the same lines as its forerunner. The plot and invention are hardly sufficient to sustain a film of this length, but a mildly amusing comedy emerges from a fairly bright script and some competent playing in the smaller roles. Glynis Johns brings gusto and sly charm to the part of the mermaid vamp, while Margaret Rutherford provides another of her familiar character cameos. Technicolor is used, on the whole, with good taste."

• Variety felt "this has not strong hopes of repeating the boxoffice impact of the original. Despite an impressive local cast, it limps along rather uneasily and can only expect spotty returns... There are broad comedy possibilities, and these ‘have been fully and conventionally exploited, but there is little sparkle to the dialog."

• Radio Times called the film "outdated hokum, a cliché-ridden story ... this is certainly not the equal of the charming original."

• FilmInk argued "It has a decent central idea... but is totally undermined by sloppy plotting that throws away opportunities wholesale."

Not to be confused with Glyn Johns

She's brilliant in Court Jester with Danny Kaye - a classic comedy.
