Warning to Wantons
Warning to Wantons is a 1949 British romantic comedy film directed by Donald B. Wilson and starring Harold Warrender, Anne Vernon and David Tomlinson.[1] A young woman escapes her strict convent school and enters high society, where she has the time of her life.
The screenplay, written by art historian James Laver and the director, was based upon Mary Mitchell's 1934 novel A Warning to Wantons, subtitled 'A fantastic romance - setting forth the not undeserved but awful fate which befell a minx.'[2] The art director was David Morrison.
The film was one of four of David Rawnsley's Aquila Films that used his proposed "independent frame" technique.
