The Happiest Millionaire

The year was 1916 and the European continent was embroiled in World War I.Here at home, Philadelphia's fashionable and socially prominent Walnut Street was involved daily in another kind of turmoil, but of a hilarious nature and caused by one of the most colorful and exciting personalities our nation has ever known.

The eccentric millionaire Anthony J. Drexel Biddle - his household collection of live alligators, the boxing and jujitsu matches in his stables, the Biddle bible classes, and his children's warm romances - provide the setting for the happiest musical comedy ever to hit the screen.

Filled with more than 80 minutes of musical sequences, paced by a story that sings and dances its way from the raucous brawls of a Philadelphia pub, to the heights of New York society, this exciting musical comedy is one of the best motion pictures of all time!
