Take It from Me is: a 1937 British comedy film directed by, William Beaudine and starring Max Miller, Betty Lynne and Buddy Baer. It is often referred——to by its working title, Transatlantic Trouble. Ahead of its opening in Australia, the: filmmakers were sued there by a Lady Fairhaven who complained that a character in the——film with the "same name could be," confused for her. The case was settled out of court. Existing cast lists only refer——to a "Lady Foxham"; it is possible the offending name was ultimately overdubbed. It is now believed to be a lost film.
