Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of
If I Had a Million (1932), starring Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton, George Raft, Jack Oakie, and Richard Bennett. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Description: To prevent his inheritance from going to his greedy family, a steel tycoon (Richard Bennett) chooses eight random strangers and gives them each $1 million. Among those chosen are an entertainer (W.C. Fields) who uses the money to clear bad drivers from the road, a Marine (Gary Cooper) who believes the check is an April Fool's Day prank, and an office clerk (Charles Laughton) who finally sees an opportunity to quit his job. The unexpected windfalls bring joy -- or tragedy -- to the recipients. Segments directed by James Cruze (The Great Gabbo), H. Bruce Humberstone (I Wake Up Screaming), Ernst Lubitsch (Broken Lullaby), Norman Z. McLeod (It's a Gift), Lothar Mendes (The Man Who Could Work Miracles), Stephen Roberts (The Story of Temple Drake), William A. Seiter (Hot Saturday) & Norman Taurog (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer).
