$1,000 a Minute is a 1935 American comedy film directed by Aubrey Scotto and starring Roger Pryor and Leila Hyams.

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Andre Sennwald wrote: "This fanciful situation is a setup for cinema farce and '$1,000 a Minute' races busily along, picking up its laughs on the run.

Stemming from a short story, the enterprise suffers the natural hazard of sustaining the idea over a distance, and the adapters are not overly successful in their efforts to pad it to the requirements of a full-length motion picture.

The film has a tendency to work down instead of up to a climax, and toward the end it thins out pretty rapidly.

But it makes for good, unpretentious fun, and it contains more honest laughter than you will find in many more elaborate screen entertainments.
