Anecdotes
Young Scots guy with a Glaswegian accent, who is Sir Rex Harrison's caddy, is a young Scottish actor called Jack Short (he didn't get a credit).

Gaffes
During a break in the trail when Victoria told her father that she is not married, Provost Gow exclaims that she committed perjury, and this is apparently his motive to drop the case. However, Victoria did not commit perjury. Although she made the marriage claim within the courtroom, she was not in the witness box and was not under oath, having not been sworn in by the court clerk.

Citations
Frank Burdon: The people of these islands are the most long-suffering in the world - they'll put up anything: they'll pull in their belts if they think it's their duty, they'll even go to the ends of the earth to be blown to bits if necessary. But there's two things they won't put up with - bullying and cruelty.

Générique farfelu
In keeping with the Scottish setting, the opening credits are shown on various Scottish plaids.

Brilliant comedy

I agree with most of the other reviews, but there's lots more brilliance that has not been mentioned. James Bridie take a very funny swipe at American 1930's slang (the new maid and a funny reply by the Lord Judge).

I don't think of this as being at all Capra-like. None of his films has this kind of snappy, clever satirical dialog.

I've come to really consider this film of the best British comedies of the 1930's.

The current (2013) DVD issue is part of "The Vivien Leigh Anniversary Collection" and is a really great print. Buy it and you'll see!
