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).

Cast

Production

During filming, Bennett suffered an accident when she fell from a horse. Her recovery lasted several months, delaying the film's completion.[3]

Critical Response

"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]
