I Didn't Do It is a 1945 British comedy crime film directed by Marcel Varnel and starring George Formby, Dennis Wyndham and Carl Jaffe. Formby's songs include: She's Got Two Of Everything (Cunningham/Towers), I'd Like A Dream Like That (Formby/Cliffe), and The Daring Young Man (Formby/Cliffe). Because of a realistic murder scene, the film was granted a British 'A' certificate, ensuring no one under the age of 16 would be admitted to the cinema unless accompanied by an adult.

Critical reception
Halliwell's Film Guide wrote, "One of the star's last vehicles, not too bad at all, but without the sweet smell of success"; while TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, and noted, "Five screenwriters collaborated on the script, churning out a lively, witty programmer."
