''The Million Pound Note'' (also called ''Man With a Million'' and ''Big Money'') is a 1954 film starring Creator/GregoryPeck, based on a short story by Creator/MarkTwain.
A mishap while sailing results in Henry Adams being stranded in England with no money. He gets caught up in a wager between two brothers, and is given a one million pound banknote, but there's a catch: he must not spend the banknote for a month. As soon as word gets out, Mr. Adams is treated like a millionaire. Naturally, things start to go wrong.
!!Contains examples of:
* AristocratsAreEvil: Subverted. The Duke of Frognal is a bit of a jerk, but he isn't evil; he only hides the note for a joke, and returns it as soon as he sees the trouble it causes Henry.
* EccentricMillionaire:
** Everyone ''thinks'' Henry is this.
** The Montpelier brothers really are this. They have a million pound banknote created, give it to a random stranger, and promise him a job if he avoids spending it for a month, just for a bet.
* ZillionDollarBill: The titular note, obviously. The difficulties created by a banknote for such a large sum are part of the bet.
