The release date is listed on here as 1937....but it just started now on TCM and the 'copyright' is listed in the credits as MCMXLI....1941...can anyone clear up this obvious 4 year discrepancy?

It's possible that this wasn't released in the United States until 1941. It doesn't look like there much of a budget for international distribution. In 1941 Britain, any earnings from US and/or Canadian distribution would be much needed.

Hardly unusual for a British film not to get a release, immediate or at all, in the US.
