A Millionaire and Two Have-nots is a curious blend of comedy and social commentary, touching on themes of wealth disparity and ambition. The film features Amir Dabirzadeh, a bookish character whose journey to marry his cousin takes unexpected turns when he crosses paths with Shahrazad, a singer seeking deeper conversations amidst the superficiality of casino life. The pacing feels relaxed, almost wandering, which allows moments of introspection to emerge against the backdrop of Ramsar's opulence. It's this juxtaposition of the mundane and the extravagant that sets it apart. The performances, particularly those of Dabirzadeh and Shahrazad, have a charming authenticity that pulls you in, making you invested in their seemingly trivial yet significant lives.
This 1973 film is not widely available, making it a rare find for collectors. The lack of significant distribution and the obscurity of its director contribute to its scarcity, and interest in this title has grown among those looking for lesser-known comedies from the era. Various formats exist, but quality can vary significantly, so it's worth seeking out the best version available.
