Thunder in the City is a 1937 British drama film directed by Marion Gering and starring Edward G. Robinson, Luli Deste, Nigel Bruce and Ralph Richardson.

[2] An American salesman with radically successful methods visits England ostensibly to learn a more dignified manner of salesmanship.

He is mistaken for a millionaire by a cash-poor family of noble ancestry with a stately home to sell which he can't afford to buy.

But by working with them instead he finds romance and equal success in business with his old marketing techniques.

Greene criticized the special effects and its "complete ignorance - in spite of its national studio - of English life and behaviour".
