Le Million: The Criterion Collection

Le Million: The Criterion Collection

An impoverished artist discovers he has purchased a winning lottery ticket at the time his creditors have come to collect. The problem is, the ticket is in his coat pocket...which is at his girfriend's apartment...who gave it to a man hiding from the police...who sells it to an opera singer to use it during his performance. By turns charming and inventive, Rene Clair's lyrical masterpiece had a profound impact on not only the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin, but on the American Musical as a whole.
