Comment/Synopsis

A penniless American newly arrived in England is promised a job if he can return in a month's time with the million pound note they give him, having lived without spending the note. Just the rumour of the note gives him access to credit and high society and the love a beautiful woman. There is a solid, though not a great performance from Gregory Peck. Despite its age there are still truths in the social comment of the story and film.
