'''''Take It from Me''''' is a 1937 British [[comedy film]] directed by [[William Beaudine]] and starring [[Max Miller (comedian)|Max Miller]], [[Betty Lynne]] and [[Buddy Baer]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120713182155/http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6b792956 BFI] BFI.com entry, retrieved 7 July 2015</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article41592718 |title=FILM LIBEL CASE. |newspaper=[[The West Australian]] |location=Perth |date=26 November 1937 |access-date=7 July 2015 |page=28 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref> 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]].<ref>http://www.britishpictures.com/articles/missing.htm BritishPictures.com: "Missing Believed Lost", retrieved 7 July 2015</ref>
