william d @acsdoug 01/01/2021 A series of vignettes showing people who suddenly acquire one million dollars. Most are not worth watching.

See more 02/14/2015 Steel magnate Bennett is ill and near death but can't stand his bickering relatives or grovelling employees. So, he decides to give away his millions to six random people, drawn from the telephone book. Six different writers (including Mankewicz) and directors (including Lubitsch) created sketches to be played by an array of stars (including W. C. Fields, Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, George Raft, and Charlie Ruggles). The result is, as you would expect, a mixed bag. However, there are more hits than misses, particularly Fields and Alison Skipworth buying old cars to crash "road hogs", Laughton's raspberry to the boss, and Ruggles' china smashing hurrah. A little pathos is thrown in with the comedy for good measure, this being the Depression and all.

Unique multi-story rarity--Something for everyone: comedy, melodrama, a hint of seduction and several car crashes... Something to live for, something to spend!! See more 12/13/2012 A millionaire is disillusioned with his relatives, so he picks names out of the phone book, and gives each one a million dollars. The lucky recipients include Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, W.C. Fields, and George Raft. Cleverly written. See more Read all reviews
