Trouble Brewing is a 1939 British comedy film directed by Anthony Kimmins and starring George Formby, Googie Withers and Gus McNaughton. It was made by Associated Talking Pictures at Ealing Studios, and includes the songs "Fanlight Fanny" and "Hitting the Highspots Now." The film is based on a novel by Joan Butler. The film's sets were designed by art director Wilfred Shingleton.
George Formby plays a Daily Sun compositor who wins a large sum at the racing. He collects three ten pound notes. Unable to spend them at the bar, he exchanges them for six fivers. He is paid with counterfeit notes. Formby’s character (George Gullip) then tries to find the criminals. In the process he goes "under cover" as a waiter and a wrestler. Clues suggest the villain is Gullip’s own boss.
