The Body Said No! is a 1950 British crime comedy film directed by Val Guest and starring Michael Rennie, Yolande Donlan, and Hy Hazell. [1] It was shot at Walton Studios near London and distributed by Eros Films.
In a British TV studio, Michael Rennie (as himself) is performing live in a dramatic broadcast. On a neighbouring set, cabaret singer Mikki Brent thinks she sees a coded plot being discussed to murder Rennie. Her friends are sceptical, but she warns Rennie, and various adventures and investigations ensue.
The film was written as a vehicle for Yolande Dolan. She was reunited with Michael Rennie who had appeared with her in Miss Pilgrim's Progress. [2]
TV Guide wrote, "an early inside glimpse of the television world, but a paranoid no-brainer." [3]
