Jane Steps Out is a 1938 British comedy film helmed by director Paul L. Stein and featuring performances from Diana Churchill, Jean Muir, Peter Murray-Hill, and Athene Seyler. Created under the banner of the Associated British Picture Corporation (ABPC) with a production cost of £23,191, the movie was released through Associated British Film Distributors. It has a duration of 70 minutes and premiered on 16 May 1938.
The plot follows a young woman living in the shadow of her more glamorous sister who, aided by her grandmother, reinvents herself and captures the attention of a suitor.
In 1957, the BBC produced a television adaptation of the film, and its storyline later influenced the 1960 Hindi movie Love in Simla, which marked the debut of actress Sadhana Shivdasani.
