'''''Don't Get Me Wrong''''' is a 1937 British [[comedy film]] co-directed by [[Arthur B. Woods]] and [[Reginald Purdell]] and starring [[Max Miller (comedian)|Max Miller]] and [[George E. Stone]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6a91bf9d|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120713083812/http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6a91bf9d|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-13|title=Don't Get Me Wrong (1936) - BFI|work=BFI}}</ref> It was made at [[Teddington Studios]] with sets designed by [[Peter Proud]].<ref>Wood p.89</ref> The film was made by the British subsidiary of [[Warner Brothers]], made on a considerably higher budget than many of the [[quota quickies]] the studios usually produced.

Unlike several of Miller's Teddington films which are now [[lost film|lost]], this still survives.

==Synopsis==
Miller plays a fairground performer who meets a professor who claims to have invented a cheap substitute for petrol. They team up and persuade a millionaire to finance them to develop and market the product, while unsavoury elements are keen to steal the formula and try all means to get their hands on it, involving slapstick chases and double-crosses. It then turns out that the miracle fluid is diluted coconut oil, and the genius professor is an escaped lunatic. The millionaire finds himself taking the brunt of the disappointment.
