In the tradition of Marx Brothers and Charles Chaplin, 24 January 2002
Author: eibon04 from New York City, NY

One of a rare breed of films which crosses elements of the silent and sound period. Le Million(1931) is excellent in its comic routes and brilliant in its storytelling abilitites. Rene Clair does wonders with the material which is top notch. Le Million(1931) is an inspiration to any comedy done within the seven decades.
