If I Had a Million is based on a novel by Robert Hardy Andrews.
The screenplays were scripted by many different writers, with Joseph L. Lubitsch, Cruze, Seiter, and Humberstone were each responsible for a single vignette, Roberts and McLeod directed two each, and Taurog was in charge of the prologue and epilogue. There were seven directors: Ernst Lubitsch, Norman Taurog, Stephen Roberts, Norman Z. Fields, Jack Oakie, Frances Dee and Charlie Ruggles, among others. TOTAL - $1,021,824.If I Had a Million is a 1932 American pre-Code Paramount Studios anthology film starring Gary Cooper, George Raft, Charles Laughton, W.C. Hopefully this person has the capacity to love a flat broke man who's rich in cheap food, weird pets, and some dead guy's bones. The cost of this is really up to the person whose love you're looking to purchase. Anyone else skeptical that the monkey and emu will get along? Your love - ? You'll need several hundred dollars in add-ons, though: a cage, leash, various tiny hats etc. You can buy a marmoset, the shittiest of the monkeys, for about $2,000. Art Garfunkel is a man and you can ask him how much he costs. Some art (a Picasso or a Garfunkel) - $10,000Īn original Picasso alone will blow the entire budget. You won't find a nice dress for less than this, regardless of colour. That said, you can make some quality gourmet ketchup for not too much money. If you don't, you probably shouldn't be considering the purchase of an emu. We'll assume you already have butter and milk at home. Maybe a bit more if it's not on sale, but it weirdly always is. Most limo companies charge a minimum of three hours and $85/hr is about as good a rate as you'll get. Assuming they're done analyzing and the bones are somehow up for grabs, there's still no way you're bringing them home cheap. At the time, the bones were not for sale, but the subject of scientific research. Michael Jackson was rumoured to have made an offer on these bones for $1,000,000. You're really going to blow the budget on this one. John Merrick's (The Elephant Man) remains - $350,000

Of course, the mandatory emu farmer's license will run you some extra coin. Llama or an emu - $5,000Īssuming you decide on the more cost-effective emu, it's about $3,500 for the bird.
Reasonably progressive lyric for the early 90s.
You can snag a nice pack of brats for a fiver. Though not mentioned in the song, if you want to put a mini-fridge in a tree fort, you will need an extension cord. UNEXPECTED PURCHASE: Extension cord - $20 Little tiny fridge (for tree fort) - $280 When you factor in materials and labour, adult-sized tree houses are quite costly. In the song, the buyer adorably claims that he intends to build the tree fort himself, but like any non-handyman with money to throw around, you'll give up and hire someone to do the job. The modern equivalent would be a recent Kia Sorento. It's fair to assume you'll spend at least 10% of the cost of your home on furniture, especially if you're purchasing items such as "a nice Chesterfield or an ottoman." A K-car (a nice Reliant automobile) - $35,000 The song seems to suggest that the house in question will be nicer than average, so we'll tack on another $100,000. If I had a million dollars, I would buy: You a house - $553,000Īccordingly to the always-reliable Internet, the average cost of a Canadian home is $453,000. Toronto financial planner Marvin Eastworth offers his breakdown. Over the last 25 years, the increased cost of living combined with stagnant wages reveals a difficult truth: if you had a million dollars and attempted to purchase the items listed in BNL's classic tune, you'd be out of luck. Aidan Campford, 28, explains, "A million bucks? I guess that would cover me and my girlfriend's student loans and credit card debt, leave us just enough to buy us a shitty condo somewhere we don't want to live, and maybe have a baby who hopefully isn't in love with the idea of 'food all the time.'"
