Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

People don't realize there are legitimate DVD's for the TV millionaire. I need your help: I want to know the ending to the episode the Millionaire episode William Courtney. I have the first part of the program, but I cannot get the complete show. Near the end of the program--William is being a non gentlemen and she might marry her boyfriend or William. Please contact me with the answer. William Courtney seems to be a stinker. Did he finish the castle? Interesting her fiancé is Mr. Ney who was once wed to Greer Garson. Thank you for your help. Answer to your questions: First, Richard Jackael was taking explosives to location, his wife is the millionaire and reaches him when he reaches the location. He almost got blown up. Great episode.Answer to another episode: the child that gets the millions, it is a son; not a daughter. Dad was Peter Marshall, Hollywood Squares host, brother of Joanna Dru, actress. He is going to the bank the next day with son to straighten his check book. Third answer to question, is man dies in cab while trying to change his will, he had already received millions not from Mike Anthony, but the banker. He changes his will since it stipulates his niece and her husband has to spend the 200 dollars for their honeymoon, but now that he has a million, they'd have to spend a million dollars on their honeymoon! A wicked relative and her husband won't split the money, they are greedy. This wicked couple states his niece and her husband has to spend the money or else. Interesting fact, one of the lawyers is western actor Tom Keene under his other actor's name. The good niece is Barbara Bates. They two couples are in court and it has a great ending. The niece's husband takes over as a attorney--and defines honeymoon--and the judge gives the money to the good niece Barbara Bates.The pilot millionaire episode is awful. Before a man and wife marries, they must be happy within themselves--and whatever may come as tragedy, they have to be ready to reevaluate their lives. In this case, the woman who is engaged decides to give up the money, since her fiancé will not marry a rich woman...sad The man has to change and be happy with himself. The money can be used to help people and they can have a quiet, healthy life-- He should be happy for his wife--not jealous of her. This man has to find a way to handle the ego problem, but not by her giving the millions. I hope someone has an answer for me on the William Courtney Millionaire, I really want to know the ending. Thank you very much.

A fellow was desperate for money and was driving a truck loaded with liquid explosives. He was crossing an old bridge that seemed destined to break somewhere on an isolated road. I cannot remember after that. I've thought of it often. Just being so afraid he would not make it and wishing he had known they were looking for him with the money.By chance, does anyone remember this episode? I can't recall if they all had happy endings. I was so young. Evidently it made an impression that I remember this so vividly years later. (I was born 1952)It is odd how these old programs stay with us.

Actually, there were about 16 billionaires in 1957, although this was only about half the number that had existed in 1925. The number has risen and fallen over the decades, depending on things like the economic climate and the advent of new, lucrative industries that certain individuals are able to capitalize on, such as railroads, oil, steel, aluminum, software, etc.So the first billionaires appeared long before this TV show ever aired. Some of them were around in the 19th century (e.g., the robber barons). By the way, there were only about a dozen by 1968, and about twice that many by the early 1980s. As of 1996 there were approximately 130. I think there are a few more than that today, but not a lot more.

I remember "The Millionaire" well, as it was a family favorite throughout its run. I agree with the posted comment, with one significant exception. Even as a child, I couldn't help but notice that the "Money can't buy happiness" message of the show was very contrived. The Millionaire candidates in most of the episodes were losers, malcontents, people with real and serious social interaction problems, who suddenly turned into bubbling fountains of happiness and rectitude once they got the money. Maybe money couldn't buy happiness, but it's mere possession evidently conferred instant morality and wisdom. The final "Lessons learned" scenes between Anthony and Tipton were invariably of the "Well, now this benighted yahoo has seen the light and is back on his/her right path" variety. It was a VERY 1950's sort of "message." Yes, my family watched the show regularly - and laughed our cookies off every week! Two nits: Tipton was "seen", but only from the rear. Also, another "condition" was that the subject never reveal the exact amount of the gift. I never understood why revealing a nice round number like $1M would cause any problems. I guess I'm too benighted.
