Three on a Spree

First made as a silent by Oscar Apfel and Cecil B De Mille in 1914, Brewster's Millions underwent a sixth reworking in this shoddy British offering. Indebted to both George Barr McCutcheon's original novel and Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley's stage adaptation, the story lumbers around London as Jack Watling attempts to spend a small fortune in a bid to land a whopping inheritance. Carole Lesley comes along for the ride, without bring much to the picnic. Sidney J Furie's contribution is much better - his leaden, laugh-free direction saps the morale of a willing, but woefully wasted supporting cast.
