Synopsis
The Million Pound Note (1954) is a British comedy you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Mark Twain's short story and directed by Ronald Neame. Gregory Peck plays an American sailor stranded in London who receives a single bank note worth one million pounds from two wealthy eccentrics running a private bet.
The terms: do not exchange it for one month. What follows is the joke Twain built the story around — the note never leaves his pocket, yet London falls over itself to serve him. Tailors extend unlimited credit, restaurants wave him through, bankers treat him like royalty. Peck handles the comic logic with dry, relaxed timing. Wilfrid Hyde-White and Joyce Grenfell round out a polished supporting cast. Watch The Million Pound Note (1954) online on iFILM.
