Jeannie (also known as Girl in Distress) is a 1941 British romantic comedy film directed by Harold French and starring Barbara Mullen, Michael Redgrave, and Albert Lieven.

[3][4] Jeannie McLean is a young Scottish woman who takes care of her tightfisted father, leaving her no time (and money) for herself.

In Vienna, Jeannie makes the acquaintance of Count Ehrlich von Wittgenstein, while Stanley gets to know a blonde model named Margaret.

The next day, Stanley sets out to market his invention, a washing machine, while the count takes Jeannie on a tour of the city.

[5]The New York Times wrote, "Every now and then, thank heaven, there comes to Broadway a modest and unsung little film that arouses no anticipations at all and then quietly and firmly captivates you.

And what refreshing comedy it is!...Director Harold French...has staged the story with affection and understanding, "Jeannie" is not super-duper entertainment to knock your eye out, but it does have the gleam of real gold.
