Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) lives in an orphanage with her best friend Rocky (Jadon Carnelly-Morris) and her pug dog, Petula. After discovering a book about hypnotism, and learning how to hypnotise, she uses her powers to escape to London and star in a play on the West End. But when a bank robber wants the book for wicked ways along with his ganster mother, Molly must keep the book safe from evil!


This fantasy aimed at younger teenagers has a good cast of British talent with a special appearance by Joan as a villian whose son is one of most incompetant robbers on screen. Joan appears in a handful of scenes, usually at the end of a phone call or on Zoom. She does make a grand entrance for the climax, when she teams up with Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp. It's a fun film and its harmless entertainment..


Joan with Gary Kemp and Dominic Monagan

Director Christopher N.Rowley commented...

'' After reading the book, I thought this is great. That sort of ugly duckling, underdog story, stories that I love. It was wonderful to get such a good cast. I have admired Celia Imrie and Joan Collins for some time. It's very easy to direct seasoned actors, with a few key words they can pick up where you want to go. With kids it's much different, as they find it hard to retain all the info.''
