Please Believe Me. 1950. USA. Directed by Norman Taurog. Screenplay by Nathaniel Curtis. With Robert Walker, Peter Lawford

35mm. 87 min.

Sandwiched between the gloomy Edward, My Son and the adventure King Solomon’s Mines, this comedy illustrates Kerr’s lighter side. After inheriting a considerable Texas ranch, Londoner Alison Kirbe finds herself courted by a variety of suitors aboard the ship to America—including a gambler looking for a wealthy wife to pay off his debts and a tycoon whose wingman tries to keep away the gold diggers. Turns out, Alison doesn’t want either one!

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: The Impeccable Deborah Kerr.
