Fields, George Raft, Charles Laughton, and more). As with any episodic film, some vignettes are more appealing than others; Peary correctly points out that &#8220;you&#8217;ll like best the three episodes in which [money can buy happiness]&#8221;, and be frustrated by those in which it can&#8217;t. Indeed, the most satisfying episodes are, as Peary notes, those in which &#8220;the money allows previously powerless people to put authoritarian figures in their place.&#8221; It&#8217;s a sign of the film&#8217;s appeal that, by the end, you feel sad that Bennett only selected eight names instead of more. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Henpecked Charles Ruggles&#8217; nightmarish dreams in the china shop<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-1024x778.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"486\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-1024x778.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2-355x270.png 355w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Dream2.png 1345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Prostitute Wynne Gibson happily settling down for the night with ONE pillow<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-1024x777.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"486\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-1024x777.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-768x583.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow-356x270.png 356w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Pillow.png 1359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>An elderly woman (May Robson) changing her oppressive group home into a fun-loving club<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-1024x777.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"486\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-1024x777.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-768x583.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club-356x270.png 356w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Club.png 1345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Charles Laughton in the film&#8217;s shortest, but perhaps most satisfying, vignette<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-1024x783.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"489\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-67703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-1024x783.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-128x98.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-768x587.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton-353x270.png 353w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/If-I-Had-a-Million-Laughton.png 1353w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>W.C.
