Brewster's Millions

US (1945): Comedy

Remade several times from silent days to the late 1980s, presumably because the story is pure escapist wish fulfillment. In this version, an ex-GI (Dennis O'Keefe) must spend a million dollars in a year's time in order to inherit an even greater fortune. Allan Dwan directs a cast that also includes Helen Walker, June Havoc, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Gail Patrick and Mischa Auer. (Edward Small Prod./UA) (amctv.com)
