    • Goofs
      Each recipient is made to sign an agreement to never reveal how he or she received the 1 million dollars. This could turn out to be a real legal problem when the IRS looks at the tax return of any recipient.

      The presumption is that multi-billionaire John Beresford Tipton's lawyers have worked out some arrangement with the IRS whereby all the taxes are paid so the beneficiaries do not need to declare the money on their returns. The bigger problem is how to enforce the agreement should a beneficiary tell someone other than a spouse.
    • Quotes

      Michael Anthony: [At the opening of each episode, with minor variations] My name is Michael Anthony, and for many years I was executive secretary to John Beresford Tipton, the multi-billionaire whose charity was as boundless as it was mysterious. For it was his hobby to give away anonymously and tax free one million dollars apiece to various people he never knew.

    Creator credits missing

    Unfortunately, the original creator of THE MILLIONAIRE, who also authored the pilot, has not been given any credit here. His name was Walter Goetz, son of Harry Goetz (Paramount Pictures) and this wonderful series was his baby from the get-go. Due to some kind of disagreement over rights or royalties (I forget the details now) he left it all behind in the very beginning and has now, apparently, been completely forgotten. Just thought I'd mention it, having personally known him. Subsequent to his short-lived career in California, he made a living playing the music of Cole Porter, George Gershwin etc. etc. in piano bars and restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Lucky us. He was a wonderful man and it was truly an honor to know him.
