Million Dollar Mystery

Million Dollar Mystery (also known as Money Mania) is a 1987 American film released with a promotional tie-in for Glad-Lock brand bags.

It starred an ensemble cast of "America's new comic talent", including Tom Bosley, Eddie Deezen, Rick Overton, Rich Hall, and Kevin Pollak.

Sidney suffers a fatal heart attack and before dying asks for a kiss from the waitress, then he reveals to the onlookers the location of the first million dollars which he says is "In the city of the bridge".

The onlookers are the Briggs Family (Stuart, Barbara, and Howie), nerdy newlyweds Rollie and Lollie, amateur singer Crush and his group of three blonde backup dancers (Faith, Hope, and Charity), brother/cook Tugger and sister/waitress Dotty.

Producer Dino De Laurentiis conceived the idea for Million Dollar Mystery when he visited New York and saw a row of people lining up for what he presumably thought was a movie.

De Laurentiis said of the film: This is a really broad comedy with car chases, designed for the young major moviegoing audience, about 12 to 24 years old.

The winner of the contest ended up being 14-year-old Alesia Lenae Jones of Bakersfield, California, who successfully guessed that the loot was hidden in the bridge of the nose of the Statue of Liberty.
