 She acquitted herself well in the film, showing a natural talent for playing comedy, and over the next few years went on to appear in a series of madcap roles in films such as "The Girl in the Taxi" (1937), "Sweet Devil" (1938) and "Tilly of Bloomsbury" (1940).Gillie made no films in 1941 or 1942, but returned to the screen in 1943 in a straight dramatic role as one of the lead players in Leslie Howard's wartime propaganda piece "The Gentle Sex".This was followed by "The Saint Meets the Tiger", notable as the only time her character Patricia Holm (the love interest of Simon Templar aka "The Saint") was ever featured on screen in any film adaptation of a novel from the Leslie Charteris "The Saint" canon.
