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.

Featured review
"I wish I was back in a foxhole."
Monty Brewster (Dennis O'Keefe) arrives home from WWII, ready to marry his beautiful fiancée (Helen Walker), when he learns that he has inherited eight million dollars from an eccentric uncle. There's a catch in the will, however. Monty must spend one million dollars in two months, and have nothing to show for it, in order to inherit the rest of the money. He also can't tell anyone about the terms of the will and he must postpone his wedding until after he has completed his task. Naturally, this leads to all sorts of chaos and has Monty's fiancée and friends thinking he has lost his mind.
One of Dennis O'Keefe's best roles. It's a very funny and likable screwball comedy with a solid cast, including the always fun Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. The plot's about as contrived as it gets so I recommend you put your inner critic to bed before watching.
