Miss Brewster's Millions is a 1926 American silent comedy film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

[1][2][3] It was based on the 1902 novel by George Barr McCutcheon and a 1906 play adaptation of the same name by Winchell Smith and Byron Ongley, which had been filmed before in 1921 with Roscoe Arbuckle.

[4] Polly Brewster, a penniless Hollywood extra, inherits one million dollars from her recently deceased father.

When the deadline arrives, Uncle Ned proves to be penniless; there is no $5 million to be inherited.
