South American George is a 1941 British, black-and-white, comedy film directed by Marcel Varnel and starring George Formby in a dual role, Linden Travers, Enid Stamp-Taylor, Felix Aylmer, Ronald Shiner as Swifty, Mavis Villiers and Herbert Lomas.

[2] It was produced by Columbia (British) Productions.

A press agent hurries to bring in a substitute after a South American opera star flops.

A lookalike takes over from the tenor, but chaos ensues when the bogus singer finds himself hunted by paid assassins.

[3][4] According to TV Guide, "Formby's comic talents give the unlikely story a few fun moments, though the film is for the most part a hit-and-miss effort".
