The film was a quota quickie production shot at Twickenham Studios, with La Plante as wisecracking New York girl Eve Chandler who receives the good news that she has inherited a large country estate in England. She crosses the Atlantic with her pal Julie, only to find that things are not as straightforward as she had been led to believe. Complications ensue as she crosses paths with a silly-ass toff (Claude Hulbert), an unscrupulous continental lothario (Banks) and a snobbish butler (Charles Paton) before she manages to sort matters out with the help of the kindly Sir Mortimer (Kendall), with whom she falls in love.

When in February 1956, Jack Warner sold the rights to all of his pre-December 1949 films; indlusing (The Girl in Possession) to Associated Artists Productions (which merged with United Artists Television in 1958, and later was subsequently acquired by Turner Broadcasting System in early 1986 as part of a failed takeover of MGM/UA by Ted Turner).

gollark: It being TS means *significantly* more stuff is picked up at compile time.
gollark: Technically it's TypeScript, but similar thing.
gollark: My notes are currently handled by DokuWiki but this is problematic in several ways.
gollark: As I said to sinþ:> If you actually are interested, the basic idea is just Notes Application #129719257 designed vaguely around wiki principles and as a shiny JS-based SPA.
gollark: I have a list of extra necessary stuff:```* Tags* Revision history* Media handling* Metadata/structured data support? At least for media* Usable mobile support* Search!* Efficient space use - compression?* Make inter-device synchronization possible* Consistent scrolling behavior* Probably some kind of macro-y or extension feature for important stuff like embedding maths/PDFs```which I expect to never finish.
