But after a weekend fox hunt at the lord's manor, all conflicts are satisfactorily explained away, and the two lovers are reconciled. In fact, by the story's end, Leslie has successfully transformed Everard from the inhumane, hostile, woman-browbeating counselor she witnessed earlier in the film into a more empathetic, understanding, sensitive courtroom-interrogator of "the gentle sex".

As was the norm with quota quickie directors, Brunel's films in this period encompassed a range of genres from comedy and musicals, through drama, to thrillers and crime. However, few of these films are known to survive. Brunel's last two feature films The Rebel Son (1938) and The Lion Has Wings (1939) – the latter a three-way directorial venture with Michael Powell and Brian Desmond Hurst – were more visible productions and do survive. Following a propaganda short The Girl Who Forgot in 1940, Brunel drew a line under his directorial career, although he did continue for a time to offer uncredited help as a favour, most notably to his old friend Leslie Howard on The First of the Few (1942) and The Gentle Sex (1943).

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. 1944 saw Gillie starring in the whimsical propaganda drama Tawny Pipit, while her last British film Flight from Folly (1945) marked a return to comedy.
