Rent The Millionairess (1960)


Spoiled heiress Epifinia is looking for a man in her life, but she is not finding it an easy task as the lucky man not only has to cope with her attitude, but also has to measure up to her gather’s strict expectations, which is that any prospective husband must, from a 500 pounds start multiply his initial investment to 15000 pounds, and this within 3 months! Epifinia however as not having any success in landing her man with the Midas touch. In despair she decides to jump into the Thames but as luck would have it the good Dr. Kabir just happens to be rowing past, and, after some persuasion rows to Epifinia’s rescue. Little could she have known however, that her handsome beau in a boat had been issued with a similar test of character, as set by his devoted mother. Can they ever measure up to the demands made by their respective parents?

The Millionairess review by JD

Sellers classic
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
There cannot be many over the age of 35 who have not seen this. Sophia Loren has a spectacular figure but is not so well endowed with acting skills. Sellers impersonation of an Indian doctor is always going to be funny and Alister Sims is my favourite dry comedian. Dated but a must see classic.

The Millionairess review by PV

hilarious non-PC fun
(0) of (3) members found this review helpful.
This film has effectively been banned from TV in the UK. And why? Because the comic genius Peter Sellars has make-up on and does an Indian accent - so therefore, according to PC muppets, it's racist. It's isn't of course, it's mimickry - just like anyone doing any accent or caricature. This film is also much funnier than most comedians' mediocre efforts - whether they be white, brown or black (and that includes the goodness gracious me rip-off merchants). This movie is a classic - but you'll only enjoy it if you take off your self-righteous sanctimonious PC hat and go with the flow!
