What happens

Take It from Me (also known as Transatlantic Trouble) is a lost 1937 British comedy film directed by William Beaudine and starring Max Miller, Betty Lynne and Buddy Baer. It was written by John Meehan Jr., J.O.C. Orton and Reginald Purdell. Ahead of the film's opening in Australia, First National 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. First National issued a statement saying: "When Lady Fairhaven's solicitors pointed out that in fact her name was being used in the film, directions were at once given for the making of the necessary alterations in the film."
