“The Amazing Adventure” is a 1936 British comedy film directed by Alfred Zeisler and starring Cary Grant, Mary Brian, and Peter Gawthorne.

Grant plays Ernest Bliss, a wealthy young man who is bored with his life and decides to wager his entire fortune that he can live for a year without any of his current luxuries or money. His solicitor (played by Gawthorne) accepts the bet, and Bliss sets off to live a life of poverty.

He soon discovers that life without money is much harder than he anticipated, but he manages to find work as a dishwasher and befriends a struggling actress named Peggy (played by Brian). The two fall in love, but Bliss refuses to tell Peggy about his true identity or his bet.

As the year draws to a close, Bliss must decide whether to reveal his true identity and win the bet or to continue living a life of poverty with Peggy. In the end, he chooses love over money and gives up his fortune to be with Peggy.

The film was a critical and commercial success, and is considered one of Cary Grant’s early breakthrough roles. It is also noted for its comedic and satirical commentary on wealth and class.
