Peck is the whole movie it's unimaginable to think of any other actor playing Henry Adams.

Based on a Mark Twain story, which we haven't read, it counts on the great work of Gregory Peck, a man that was one of the most charismatic performers during his years in the cinema. The film, made in England at the famous Pinewood studios, was directed by Ronald Neame. This delightful comedy of 1954 was a total surprise. He is given a set of smart clothes, a suite at one of the best hotels in town, and an introduction to high society, something that is not always available to Americans, even rich ones, as Henry appears to be. Henry Adams then discovers how he can go through his present situation relying on the fact that he is a millionaire, without really being one. As the bill comes, he shows his one million pound note, which of course, the owner can't possibly change. He tests his good fortune when he decides to dine at a modest restaurant. The lucky recipient of the note is one Henry Adams, an American in London who is just a poor man with no money, or prospects of a job in the near future. Then, if by the end of a month, if he can show the intact bill, he will indeed be a man worthy of whatever fortunes might befall on him because of the sheer luck of proving the brothers right.

Oliver and Roderick Montpellier, two English brothers, make a bet that any man given a one million pound note, can live off the fat of the land just by showing off the good fortune of having it in his possession.
