Please Believe Me is a 1949 American romantic comedy film directed by Norman Taurog, and starring Deborah Kerr, Robert Walker, Mark Stevens and Peter Lawford.

Alison Kirbe is a young London girl who has just found out she has inherited a Texas ranch from an old soldier she had befriended during World War II.

On her way, she meets Terence Keath, a fellow passenger heavily in debt to casino owner Lucky Reilly.

To pay off his debts, he attempts to marry rich and starts to seduce Alison, as he thinks she is a wealthy heiress.

Trying to hurt Matthew, she borrows money from Terence and buys an expensive present for Jeremy, while posing as a wealthy heiress.

Alison bursts out in tears, angry at Matthew for turning an honest and good-hearted inheritance into a supposed scheme.

MGM was so satisfied with the script, that they offered to raise the budget and replace Kerr with June Allyson, who was more famous by that time.
