“Miss Tatlock’s Millions” is a screwball comedy about a millionaire’s personal assistant’s elaborate scheme to gain control of his $6 million estate. The plan includes hiring a movie stuntman to pose as the man until his family can determine who will gain control of the fortune. The wacky comedy was well orchestrated by director Richard Haydn (“Ball of Fire” 1941) and producer-screenwriter Charles Brackett (“Sunset Boulevard” 1950).
The cast delivers entertaining performances, including John Lund, Wanda Hendrix, Barry Fitzgerald, Monty Woolley, Robert Stack, Leif Erickson, Dan Tobin, Ilka Chase, Dorothy Stickney, Elizabeth Patterson, Richard Haydn, and Hilo Hattie as Kamamamalua. “Miss Tatlcock’s Millions” was a success in theatrical release for producer Charles Brackett and Paramount Pictures. Renowned cinematographer Charles Lang was in charge of filming.
