If I Had A Million

Grade: B
Country: USA
Director: Lubitsch
ReviewFinally got around to seeing this one. Features several vignettes (8, I think) of people getting a million bucks from an eccentric benefactor who doesn’t want the money going to his shitty family so he gives it to random people instead. One guy is a serial forger so he’s unable to cash the check (karma). One guy is on death row so sucks for him. One guy gets a dozen cars and runs
people off the road if they are driving poorly. One is a woman who just wants to be left alone to sleep in her own bed without her stockings on (pre-code so they show her getting pretty skimpy). Pretty good idea and apparently it became a TV show later on. 1932.
