You’ve got three showgirls, each with their own charm, on a pursuit that’s both hilarious and a bit chaotic. The pacing bounces along with the musical numbers, and the vibrant costumes add a splash of color that’s hard to forget. There’s a playful energy in the way the girls navigate their romantic entanglements, with some genuinely funny moments interspersed throughout. It's not just a comedy but also a glimpse into the era's musical stylings, making it distinct among the Shaw catalog—definitely a unique find for those intrigued by the blend of comedy and music from this period.

The Millionaire Chase has seen limited releases over the years, with the original prints becoming increasingly rare. Most collectors are on the lookout for any home media versions, as it's not frequently screened at festivals or retrospectives. Interest in the film tends to spike among those who appreciate Shaw Brothers' lesser-known works, especially given its blend of comedy and musical flair.
