Evergreen is a 1934 British musical film directed by Victor Saville starring Jessie Matthews, Sonnie Hale and Barry MacKay. The film is based on the 1930 musical Ever Green, also starring Matthews, who plays a dual role as mother and daughter. The film was produced at Gaumont British by Michael Balcon and shot at the Lime Grove Studios in London.
The film was so unlike typical British films of the period that initially the Gaumont board of directors were unsure what to do with it. Seeking a second option, it was screened for distributor C.M. Woolf — who had previously been highly critical of Hitchcock's early films — and he declared it was "appalling rubbish".
