''Trottie True'' is a 1949 British musical comedy film directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and starring Jean Kent, James Donald and Hugh Sinclair. Adapted from a play by Caryl Brahms and S. J. Simon, it tells the story of Trottie True, a Gaiety Girl of the 1890s who, after a brief romance with a balloonist, marries Lord Digby Landon, becoming Duchess of Wellwater when he succeeds to the dukedom. It was known as ''The Gay Lady'' in the U.S., and is a rare British Technicolour film of the period. According to the BFI Screenonline, "British 1940s Technicolor films offer an abundance of visual pleasures, especially when lovingly restored by the National Film Archive. Trottie True is not among the best known, but comes beautifully packaged, gift wrapped with all the trimmings." ==Cast== * Jean Kent - Trottie True * James Donald - Lord Digby Landon (later Duke of Wellwater) * Hugh Sinclair - Maurice Beckenham * Lana Morris - Bouncie Barrington * Andrew Crawford - Sid Skinner * Bill Owen - Joe Jugg * Michael Medwin - Marquis of Maidenhead * Joan Young - Mrs True * Harold Scott - Mr True * Anthony Halfpenny - Perce True * Daphne Anderson - Bertha True * Katharine Blake - Ruby Rubarto * Philip Strange - Earl of Burney * Darcy Conyers - Claude * Josef Ramart - Monty's Chauffeur (uncredited) * Francis de Wolff - George Edwardes * Campbell Cotts - Saintsbury, the butler * Harcourt Williams - Duke of Wellwater (Digby's father) * Mary Hinton - Duchess of Wellwater (Digby's mother) *Christopher Lee as Hon.
