Poor Millionaire

About This Movie

So, 'Poor Millionaire' is this 1965 comedy that mixes romance with a bit of social commentary. You've got Peter, this rich kid who decides to play poor to win over a showroom model he falls for—it's a classic case of mistaken identity, or rather, mistaken wealth. The tone has a lighthearted charm, but there's an undercurrent of satire about class distinction that gives it some depth. Performances are decent; nothing groundbreaking, but they have a certain warmth. You'll notice some practical effects that add to its quirky vibe. The pacing? It rolls along nicely without dragging, keeping you engaged while navigating through Peter's elaborate charade. It’s an interesting snapshot of its era, if you’re into that kind of playful exploration of wealth and love.

Poor Millionaire hasn't really hit the mainstream collector's radar, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem. It's available on a few formats—some DVDs and even a couple of VHS copies float around, but they can be tricky to find. The scarcity adds to its allure for collectors who appreciate comedies from this era, especially those that play with themes of class and identity. Enthusiasts of 60s cinema might find it an interesting addition to their collection, especially if they're into lesser-known titles.
