Movie Info

To prevent his inheritance from going to his greedy family, a steel tycoon (Richard Bennett) chooses eight random strangers and gives them each $1 million. Among those chosen are an entertainer (W.C. Fields) who uses the money to clear bad drivers from the road, a Marine (Gary Cooper) who believes the check is an April Fool's Day prank, and an office clerk (Charles Laughton) who finally sees an opportunity to quit his job. The unexpected windfalls bring joy -- or tragedy -- to the recipients.

Audience Reviews for If I Had a Million

  • Mar 13, 2019
    This Depression-era tale simply looks in on the lives of 6 people given a million dollars (back when it was really worth a million) and what they might do with the freedom money allows. Played mostly for comedy, it manages to deliver smiles more often than not. Three of the tales make enlightened social commentary as well, such as when a call girl gives up 'the life' Better than you might think.
