The Millionairess (1960)

The Millionairess (1960) is a loose adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Play of the same name. The film stars Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers and was hugely successful when it was released.

⁣Millionairess Epifania Parerga (Sophia Loren) has everything she could ever want, except love. So when she meets brilliant Dr. Kabir (Peter Sellers), she decides to add him to her list of possessions. Unfortunately, Kabir is not so easily won and presents her with an unusual prenuptial condition: she must live on only 35 shillings a day for 90 days if she wishes to marry him. Epifania accepts and presents a counter-challenge: Kabir must triple a small investment within the same 90-day period.
