If I Had a Million (1932)

Tycoon John Glidden, dying but still vigorous, is so dissatisfied with his relatives and associates that, rather than will his money to any of them, he decides to give it away in million-dollar amounts to strangers picked from the city directory. He picks a meek china salesman, a prostitute, a forger, two ex-vaudevillians who hate road hogs, a condemned man, a mild-mannered clerk, a boisterous Marine, and an oppressed inmate of an old ladies' home.
