Brewster's Millions (1945) is one of a number of adaptations of the novel of the same name by George Barr McCutcheon. In the original Brewster's Millions, the hero was a stockbroker; in this version, Brewster is a returning soldier.
The film was banned in Memphis, Tennessee, because the character of an African-American servant, portrayed by Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, was treated too well.
Louis Forbes was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture.
