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.

Hot Millions is a feel good film which, set in the swinging 60's, is a masterclass in good acting. No CGI or special effects just gentle humour set around a good script. All actors involved play their parts with aplomb. Liz Smith and Peter Ustinov are quite literally delightful in their roles and have you sympathising and cheering for them from the off. I only wish there were more like this made today!

An elegant movie leaded by Peter Ustinov becomes an even more elegant movie leaded by Maggie Smith.

I would agree with the critic who said you may not realize it but you've been smiling for nearly 2 hours.

Hot Millions is an excellent film. It is about paroled London fraudster Marcus Pendleton who poses as a computer specialist. Peter Ustinov and Maggie Smith give fantastic performances. The script is pretty good but a little slow in places. Eric Till did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor. Hot Millions is a must see.
