Mermay Day 18: Miranda from Miranda (1948)
Miranda is a new movie for me (I only saw it last year), but it's so rarely mentioned that I had to include it anyway in my Mermay series. It's a comedy because it all ends happily, although I do think parts of it have aged somewhat poorly. Glynis Johns gives a spectacular performance as Miranda, giving her a magnetic appeal but keeping a playful, almost innocent personality.
For my redesign I knew I had to keep that appeal, which is somewhat difficult considering how polychromal my SETE merfolk are, and not everyone is down for Green Fish Babe. Although in lots of promotional material (and in the movie they mention "sea green taffeta" for a dress) MIranda's tail is green, a friend suggested I go with yellow to match Johns' shining blonde hair, and I like how it turned out.
