Her Imaginary Lover is a 1933 British comedy film directed by George King and starring Laura La Plante and Percy Marmont. It was produced and distributed by Warner Brothers and shot at the company's Teddington Studios as a quota quickie.[1]
The film was a quota quickie production based on the play Green Stockings by A. E. W. Mason, featuring La Plante as New York socialite Celia who invents an aristocratic English fiancé named Lord Michael Ware to deflect the tedious attention of would-be suitors. Celia travels to London to claim an inheritance...and meets an aristocratic Englishman called Lord Michael Ware (Marmont). The imaginary romance becomes real. Her Imaginary Lover is classed by the British Film Institute as a lost film.[2]
