Thursday, November 3 - 1,000 Dollars a Minute

1,000 Dollars a Minute (1935)

'$1,000 a Minute' stars Roger Pryor as a cynical newspaperman who loses his job and his girlfriend in the same day. Somewhat desperate, he finds himself embroiled in the scheme of two eccentric millionaires. They're conducting a wager to see whether or not it's possible for anyone to spend $1,000 a minute, every minute, for 12 continuous hours.

Pryor, of course, is the man who gets stuck with the job of spending the dosh. As an incentive, he's promised $10,000 for himself if he can keep up the spending. If he fails, he gets nothing. A gunman named Benny, with a broad Brooklyn brogue, is assigned to stay on Pryor's heels to make sure he follows the rules and keeps up his spendthrift behaviour.
