百万英镑

本片拍摄于1953年，根据马克·吐温的小说《一张百万英镑的钞票》改编。 　　富豪之家的两兄弟，从银行取出面额为一百万英镑的钞票，想以此验证一个穷人拿到这张巨额钞票的结局。哥哥认为这张钞票对一个穷人毫无价值，最终他还是会穷困潦倒；而弟弟则认为他会因为这张钞票摆脱困境过上富足的生活。为了证明各自的理论的正确的，兄弟两人为此打起了赌。他们将这张钞票留给穷困潦倒的美国小伙子亨利·亚当斯（格利高里·派克 Gregory Peck 饰）后出国旅行了，留下对未来一片迷茫的亨利。 　　人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟拼命地拉拢他，从免费吃饭，买衣服，到免费住宿，一个个像乞丐一样讨好他，并不断提高他的社会地位。不仅如此，这位幸运的小伙子还取到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息，从此以后过着非常幸福的生活。An impoverished American sailor is fortunate enough to be passing the house of two rich gentlemen who have conceived the crazy idea of distributing a note worth one million pounds. The sailor finds that whenever he tries to use the note to buy something, people treat him like a king and let him have whatever he likes for free. Ultimately, the money proves to be more troublesome than it is worth when it almost costs him his dignity and the woman he loves.
