Trouble with Eve is a low budget 1960 British comedy film directed by Francis Searle and starring Hy Hazell, Robert Urquhart and Garry Marsh. It was based on the play Widows are Dangerous by June Garland. The film was released in the U.S. in 1964 as In Trouble With Eve.
In the sleepy English village of Warlock, Louise Kingston (Hy Hazell) converts her cottage into "The Willow Tree", a commercial tearoom. However, scandal ensues when the local inspector gets caught with his pants down, and the tea room is rumoured to be a den of vice.
TV Guide called it "a barely average British comedy."
