The authors of “Hollywood in the Forties” point to the loss of “minor divertissements like Richard Haydn's Miss Tatlock's Millions” as marking “the end of an era. Comedies grew more and more gross... Only the very occasional farce of quality--Billy Wilder's Some Like it Hot, or Frank Tashlin's Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? reminded one, in an admittedly more vulgar spirit, of the charm and skill of that long-vanished mode.” That's pretty good company, in our book. In any case, the New York Times found Miss Tatlock's Millions exceedingly vulgar. “Lunacy in a family is not a particularly funny thing,” Bosley Crowther complained, “nor does it seem fitting and tasteful as a matter to be treated as a farce.” The plot of this inviting, offbeat comedy involves a Hollywood stunt man who impersonates the banished family idiot at the reading of a will. As he begins to fall in love with his supposed “sister,” things get even more uncomfortable than they already were. Charles Brackett wrote the screenplay and also produced this original farce.
