Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUpon its original release, the film was banned in Memphis, Tennessee, where officials found Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson's servant character had "too familiar a way about him" and that the movie overall depicted "too much social equality and racial mixture."
- GoofsWhen a phone rings on Brewster's desk, he picks up the wrong phone. His friend answers the ringing phone and passes it to Brewster and then places Brewster's hand set on the ringing phone's cradle, which would have ended the phone call. Brewster finishes his call and puts the handset on the other cradle. Then that phone rings and he has another conversation which is also impossible.
- Quotes
Montague L. 'Monty' Brewster: Say, I heard you were in the Navy.
Jackson: So did the Japs. And when they did, there was more Hari-Kari and throat cutting than at a Harlem rent party.

Money Can Be Everything-Brewster's Millions ***1/2
Dennis O'Keefe in a field day romp in Brewster's Millions.
He becomes an instant millionaire through inheritance but in order to get the full $8 million, he must spend $1 million by age 30, which is in 2 months.
He is not permitted to tell anyone why he is spending money as if there is no tomorrow. Naturally, his love-life will be adversely affected.
Of course, when this occurs, O'Keefe gets that Midas Touch. Everything and everyone he touches yields a gold-mine.
As his butler, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson has lots of fun here and you can see that he is enjoying himself..
The film co-stars Helen Walker as his befuddled girlfriend and there is a nice turn by June Havoc, as a flashy Broadway show-girl, caught up in this mayhem.
The picture succeeds because of the fine performance of O'Keefe who has the part of the suddenly wealthy ex-G.I. down to a science. We feel his emotions of joy, frustration and comic desires.
