Our Echo Bridge 'digitally remastered' version is 61 minutes and only just watchable - terrible sound and vision - and called The Amazing Adventure (its 1937 reissue title when it was cut from 80 minutes), robbed of a studio credit. No doubt it's fallen into public domain - a great shame as it's a sweet little film in which millionaire Cary Grant spends a year trying to make a living like ordinary folk - a remake of a 1920 British film.
It's apparently a British film - though it all looks like stock footage of London to me - and based on prolific British writer E. Phillip Oppenheim's novel.
The adaptation is by John L Balderstone. With Mary Brian, Peter Gawthorne, Henry Kendall, Leon M. Lion. Shot by Otto Heller - you wouldn't believe how many films he had photographed before this, since 1918...
P.S. Hitch on Number Seventeen (1932) "It had that awful old man in it, Leon M. Lion"...
