Brewster’s Millions

Penniless ex-GI Monty Brewster inherits $8 million from a rich relative, but there’s a catch. To get the dough, he first has to spend a million in the course of a month, and nobody can know why he’s doing it., This film stars Dennis O’Keefe as the lucky recipient of an $8,000,000 inheritance. However, O’Keefe will receive his legacy only if he spends $1,000,000 in two months. Prohibited from giving the money away, O’Keefe invests in several losing propositions; alas, every one of his bad investments turns a profit.
