"A Yank at Eton" was the 1942 sequel to the 1938 "A Yank at Oxford". It was entirely filmed in Connecticut rather than on location. It tells the tale of an uncouth American attending Eton College and having difficulty fitting even even though people try to accommodate him. It has the Eton boating song as its theme tune, played at a faster tempo than usual. It has been shown on TNT in 1995 and on UK TCM 30th September 2007.

Reception

Although the two films portrayed the United Kingdom in a mainly positive light it was thought to harm US-British relations at such a sensitive time.
