A John Paddy Carstairs novel / script, for Monarch Films, whoever they are.
Fluffy yank Peter Thompson inherits Dukedom (local village looks to us like Turville again), falls for adjacent Lady Noelle Middleton, accompanied by typical British faces such as Reginald Beckwith, Sid James, Richard Wattis and Guy Middleton (who wasn't in Dial M, that was Anthony Dawson).
Film is pretty pale really (especially in almost transluscent print broadcast by Talking Pictures TV) but not too bad.
A most interesting footnote is that one of his yank buddies is Jon Pertwee, sporting a somewhat variable accent, and the other Harold Lloyd Jr, son of the silent star, who had a tough time of things being gay and died soon after his dad aged 39.
