A Millionaire for Christy on DVD

This hilarious screwball comedy gave Fred MacMurray a chance to show his brilliant comedic chops as Peter, a radio personality who is told he's just inherited two million dollars by a gold-digging secretary (Eleanor Parker as Christy) who is determined to snag him for herself. Though he never quite believes she's telling the truth about his inheritance, circumstances continue to bring Peter together with Christy, infuriating both his fiancé+-e, June (Kay Buckley), and his pal, Dr. Cook (Richard Carlson), who secretly loves June himself. It's not long before Christy and Dr. Cook join forces and cook up some shenanigans to help them win the lovers they want. One of the great early comedic directors, George Marshall guided many of the cinema's most celebrated comedians, from Laurel & Hardy and W.C. Fields to Bob Hope, James Stewart, Glenn Ford, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
