Le Million
A totally charming musical comedy about two penniless artists who win the lottery and become millionaires. But the lottery tickets are in a coat that is stolen, and then the fun begins. The entire cast is a joy, including the various uncredited supporting performers who populate the film. "Rene Clair at his exquisite best; no one else has been able to make a comedy movie with such delicate, dreamlike inevitability" (Pauline Kael).
