Let's Make a Million

About This Movie

Let's Make a Million is this quirky little comedy from '36 that really captures the snares of wealth and deception. The pacing has that classic screwball rhythm, with plenty of twists that keep you guessing. The performances are lively, especially the lead, whose naivety gets him into all sorts of trouble with those slick con artists. What’s really striking is the way it tackles themes of trust and greed, wrapped up in a lighthearted package. You can almost feel the period charm through the screen, and while the director’s name isn’t widely known, the film exudes a certain playful spirit that sticks with you.

This film is pretty elusive in the collector's circuit, often turning up in obscure catalogs or at estate sales. Its scarcity is notable, especially in decent condition, as many prints have faded over the years. There’s a certain charm to owning a piece that reflects that bygone era of filmmaking, and collectors who appreciate early comedies often find themselves drawn to its unique quirks and themes.
