American Friends is a film, released in 1991, starring Michael Palin. It was written by Palin and Tristram Powell, and directed by Powell.
Palin plays Francis Ashby, a senior Oxford professor on holiday in the Alps in 1861. There he meets the American Caroline Hartley (Connie Booth) and her 18-year old ward Elinor (Trini Alvarado). Ashby is drawn to them both, particularly Elinor, but is rather surprised when they arrive in Oxford and rent a house. Women are not allowed in the College, nor are Fellow allowed to marry, which puts him in an embarrassing situation. Ashby's rival for the post of College President, Oliver Syme, takes full advantage of this to try and discredit Ashby. However the situation is finally resolved and Ashby and Elinor are finally married.
The plot was based on a real-life incident involving Palin's great-grandfather, Edward Palin.
