From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I Had A Million is an American film made by Paramount in 1932.

It is an anthology film made up of eight different episodes linked by a common theme: what happens to eight otherwise unconnected people when they're picked out of the phone book by a dying multimillionaire (Richard Bennett) and each endowed with a million dollars.

Each episode is directed by a different director, including Ernst Lubitsch, James Cruze and Norman Taurog, and scripted by many different writers, amongst whom Joseph L. Mankiewicz makes a large contribution. The cast represents a wide selection of the talent available at Paramount at the time and includes George Raft, Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, May Robson, Charles Ruggles, Jack Oakie, Wynne Gibson, and W.C. Fields are among the recipients. The film is based on a novel by Robert Andrews.
