She Wanted a Millionaire is a 1932 American pre-Code romantic drama film starring Joan Bennett and Spencer Tracy.[1] The film, produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation, was directed by John G. Blystone and also features Una Merkel.[2] It is the only film that Bennett and Tracy made together in which she was billed over Tracy. They also played the top-billed romantic leads in Me and My Gal (1932), Father of the Bride (1950), and Father's Little Dividend (1951).
During filming, Bennett suffered an accident when she fell from a horse. Her recovery lasted several months, delaying the film's completion.[3]
"Director John Blystone, the technical departments and a competent cast," said Clara Sawdon, reviewer for International Photographer, "contribute everything possible to make this picture meritorious entertainment, but even such heroic efforts cannot make a story plausible or convincing when it is lacking in such essentials."[4]
