A rather sporting man full of chide and eccentric flourish, conditions must be met to legitimately acquire his colossal resource.
Thus, his flamboyant progeny (Sophia Loren as Epifania) can only marry if rather fortunate, and her prospective husband can turn 500 pounds into 15,000 in just three weeks. She realizes she can fix things and proceeds to do so for a sheath of muscle.
But he's unable to grin and bear it.
Soon she must find another.
As fate would have it, during a mock-suicide attempt she's saved by an impoverished doctor (Peter Sellers as Dr. Kabir), who's sincerely dedicated to the sick, and has no genuine interest in money.
The habitual "impertinence" soon ignites an inextinguishable flame, she's determined in hot pursuit to become his betrothed alluring patron.
He's a student of the mind and has not interest, nevertheless, but still gives Epifania a challenge which must be definitively met.
Yet in his disinterested haste he generously gives away the 500.
Leaving her to embrace despair.
And impecunious improvisation.
Strange to see a conscientious individual sternly refusing limitless abundance, not that such an occurrence itself is odd, but since there's so much obsession with material these days.
Indeed it seems the more difficult it becomes to astronomically endow oneself, the less ethical concerns emphatically refine an inner voice.
In terms of programming and aesthetic shallows which grossly overlook collective objectives, and blindly uphold vain personal strategies with misperceived monopolistic psychology.
The Millionairess presents an alternative time when respected self-sacrificing age old duty, still made its way to populist markets and produced miraculous effects.
It's like mass collaboration has been disingenuously disdained, and too much of an individualistic bias is creating a lack of faith in public institutions.
Healthcare and education remain the backbone of a multivariable cultural thrust.
With millions of people developing interactive loci.
Structurally stable.
Resiliently sound.
With Alastair Sim (Sagamore).
