I'd Rather Be Rich (1964)

Director:

 Jack Smight

Writers:

 Oscar Brodney, Norman Krasna

Stars:

 Sandra Dee, Robert Goulet, Andy Williams 
 
Maurice Chevalier plays Philip Dulaine, a supposedly dying millionaire, while Sandra Dee co-stars as Cynthia, the elderly man's granddaughter. To allow Dulaine to die happy, Cynthia promises to find a husband. Actually, Dulaine is only pretending to be at death's door to get Cynthia married off. Subsequent complications involve Cynthia's personal choice for a husband, Warren Palmer (Andy Williams), and Dulaine's selection, Paul Benton (Robert Goulet). Deanna Durbin fans will quickly detect that I'd Rather Be Rich is a remake of Durbin's It Started With Eve (1941), with a gender switch (in the original, Robert Cummings is the grandson, and Durbin is the instant fiancee) and with Maurice Chevalier filling the sizeable shoes of Charles Laughton as the foxy grandpa.

    I was hesitant to order from Zeus, but I’m very happy with my purchase. This is a very nice romantic comedy that I've wanted to see for a long time. I was very happy to find it here. It is a good quality copy and arrived quickly.

    My favorite FINALLY added to my collection

    Posted by Tammy Hanley on Dec 15th 2018

    I have always loved this movie but for whatever reason, it was never released, and all I had was my own crappy transfer from an old VHS tape which I recorded off TV. This is a LOVELY transfer, not meant to be watched on giant screens but on a medium or small-sized screen the digitization hardly registers. The sound is beautiful, too. If you have read all the negative reviews, try to have patience and wait...this man does good work and does follow through on orders.
