This British caper follows Marcus Pendleton (Peter Ustinov), a con man just out of prison. After assuming the identity of a computer whiz, Pendleton lands a corporate job and starts smuggling money into fake companies he has set up throughout Europe. Meanwhile, Pendleton has fallen for the secretary, Patty (Maggie Smith). When he finds out Patty is pregnant, he escapes with her to Rio. Unfortunately, Pendleton's scheme has been uncovered, and his boss is hot on his trail.

Hot Millions, which is not a hilarious comedy, is a pleasant, warm one.

One of those comic boardroom fairy-tales (man bites computer) which never seem to quite achieve basic persuadability.

A cute farce. Ustinov and Smith were great with their blue collar British accents, but the plot was a little short of greatness. Malden was good as well as an ignoramus.

This is not, I suppose, a great comedy. But Ustinov and Miss Smith act with a sort of natural appeal, and there are moments you will enjoy very much. Especially recommended for computer programmers, their accomplices and their molls.
