Celia is a 1949 British comedy thriller film directed by Francis Searle and starring Hy Hazell, Bruce Lester and John Bailey. Made as a second feature by Hammer Films, it was based on a radio serial.[1]
An unemployed actress is persuaded by her private detective boyfriend to pose as a housekeeper at a country mansion to investigate suspicious events occurring there.
Celia is reluctantly persuaded by Private Detective Larry to once again help him with a case. She has a flair for undertaking character rôles but mainly agrees so she can buy a fashionable hat. Celia becomes a cockney housekeeper for a week in a large house where a man is suspected of marrying an older woman for her money and plans to kill her.
