Granger followed it with "The Lamp Still Burns" (1943), playing the love interest of nurse Rosamund John. More popular was "Fanny by Gaslight" (1944), another for Gainsborough Pictures, which reunited him with Calvert and Mason, and added Jean Kent. "The New York Times" reported that Granger "is a young man worth watching. The customers... like his dark looks and his dash; he puts them in mind, they say of Cary Grant." It was the second most popular movie at the British box office in 1944.
