''If I Had a Million'' is a 1932 American Pre-Code Paramount Studios anthology film. There were seven directors: Ernst Lubitsch, Norman Taurog, Stephen Roberts, Norman Z. McLeod, James Cruze, William A. Seiter, and H. Bruce Humberstone . Lubitsch, Cruze, Seiter, and Humberstone were each responsible for a single vignette, Roberts and McLeod directed two each, and Taurog was in charge of the prologue and epilogue. The screenplays were scripted by many different writers, with Joseph L. Mankiewicz making a large contribution. ''If I Had a Million'' is based on a novel by Robert Hardy Andrews.〔Andrews, Robert Hardy. ''Windfall: A Novel About Ten Million Dollars''. The John Day Co., New York, 1931〕 A wealthy dying businessman decides to leave his money to eight complete strangers. Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, George Raft, May Robson, Charles Ruggles, and Gene Raymond play some of the lucky beneficiaries. The 1950s television series ''The Millionaire'' was based on a similar concept.〔Everett Aaker, ''The Films of George Raft'', McFarland & Company, 2013 p 33〕 ==Plot== Dying industrial tycoon John Glidden (Richard Bennett) cannot decide what to do with his wealth. He despises his money-hungry relatives and believes none of his employees is capable of running his various companies. Finally, he decides to give a million dollars each to eight people picked at random from a telephone directory ''before'' he passes away, so as to avoid his will being contested. (The first name selected is John D. Rockefeller, which is swiftly rejected.)
