Si yo tuviera un millón

La historia

Un millonario que está a punto de morir decide repartir su fortuna entre desconocidos cuyos nombres saca de la guía telefónica. Los afortunados emplean el dinero de diferentes formas: el oficinista plantará cara a su jefe, la prostituta intentará cambiar su vida, etc. Un filme compuesto por episodios en el que la Paramount empleó a sus mejores directores, James Cruze, H. Bruce Humberstone, Ernst Lubitsch, Norman Z. McLeod, Lothar Mendes, Stephen Roberts, William A. Seiter y Norman Taurog y a sus estrellas más relevantes como Charles Laugthon, Gary Cooper, George Raft, Jack Oakie o W. C. Fields. El mejor episodio es precisamente el dirigido por Lubitsch sobre la reacción de un oficinista al saberse repentinamente millonario, que interpreta Charles Laughton.
