like the ugly men, the other nice things about this picture are also strange. in its slick color photography, advertising campaign, title and plot, hot millions gives the appearance of being yet another film of the glamorous grand robbery mode (charade, how to steal a million, gambit, et al). but, for all these superficial indications, this movie has little to do with beautiful people or even money. not only that, but it' s a suspense film with little suspense; a comedy with few big laughs; a love story with no flesh. and hot millions characters are the kind of people audrey hepburn wouldn' t be seen dead with .
it all started because a housewife loved to cook and an army officer was looking towards premature retirement and a new career in the restaurant business. harinder mohini and col. anant bir singh together started the first outlet in 1979. she, with her culinary skills and he, with his administrative finesse, soon had a flourishing fast food business that had people queuing up for an empty table. a response that justified the opening of four more outlets in and around chandigarh and the sons pitching in with their own unique qualifications. the name hot millions uses the same initial' s as in harinder mohini' s name i. e. hm. hot millions endeavour is to provide their guests the best in food and make their visit memorable to any of their locations. due the centralization of the mother kitchen hot millions has maintained its quality and standard since all the items are prepared there in semi - cooked form. the dedication and hard work put in by the founders has made the group a regional brand in north india .

hot millions
abandons convention. peter ustinov is the embezzler, a bachelor, usually preoccupied, given to talking to himself and letting the sentences trail off into clearing of the throat. he bluffs his way into a private club, encourages a computer expert (robert morley) to hunt moths in south america and masquerades as morley to infiltrate a large computer operation .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
the idea is to convince the computer to mail ustinov millions of pounds. the problem is to program the computer after getting past its built - in safeguards. after long nights spent studying the computer manual, ustinov finally succeeds: a victory that will give new heart to my friends at honeywell who dream of the good life in rio .
but, don' t get me wrong, hot millions is not an ugly movie. director eric till manages to capture the non - ugly features of his characters and the charm of the middle - class london settings. (and he does it without resorting to the gratuitous flashiness of a norman jewison work). the jokes provided in the ustinov - ira walach screenplay are unfailingly gentle, and, in the case of some bits involving robert morley and casar romero, quite funny. what the film lacks in physical beauty and glamour, it replaces with humour and heart. i' ll take two inarticulate bumblers falling in love while their dinner burns over two rich sex - symbol thieves any day in the week .
renowned film and tv composer laurie johnson provides a touching score for this delightful tale of a cockney con artist just out of prison who steals a computer whizz kid' s identity and hatches a plot to swindle a big insurance company out of millions, and finds himself falling in love with the company' s incompetent secretary. sir peter ustinov and dame maggie smith give outstanding performances as the lead characters, currently unavailable on dvd this rare film can occassionaly be seen on the tcm movie channel
take marcus pendleton, the hero. he is, to be brutal about it, a fat slob. as ustinov plays him, he slobbers, mumbles, stutters and swaggers. he is the kind of man who seems to have dandruff on his teeth. while the plot calls for pendleton to pose as a computer expert and hitch up with an ibm - type operation to embezzle it out of millions, you know as soon as you see him that he' ll be caught in the act. as a result, the fun is not in his attempted theft, but in what he does during his spare time .

i saw the description of the movie on tcm and only let it run because i like both peter ustinov and maggie smith, so i was delightfully surprised to find that i really liked the movie and found it quite exceptional. of course, it is seriously dated, but as a period piece it is well worth watching just for the subtle humour in insight into life and lifestyle almost forty years ago. now the only problem is trying to find it on dvd so i can watch it more often. i also was quite taken with the performances of smith and ustinov as the leads, and of karl malden, bob newhart, and the cameo appearances by robert morley and cesar romero .

this comedy finds a veteran crook turning to modern computer technology to steal money from various companies. even before he is released from jail caesar (peter ustinov) is planning his high - tech heist. he cons american executive klemper (karl malden) and sets up three bogus companies to receive funds from the corporate office. klemper' s faithful assistant gnatpole (bob newhart) is suspicious and investigates the unusual activities. smith (robert morley) gives caesar the computer lesson that puts him on the fast track to thievery. caesar marries patty (maggie smith), who surprises her husband by earning more money than her crooked spouse by honest means. cesar romero is the smiling customs official who lets caesar pass through with a bagful of money from the crime while klemper' s jar of instant coffee falls under suspicion .

a look back at robert zemeckis' half - animated classic, who framed roger rabbit, on its 30 - year anniversary .
an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,
sorry to bother you .
the warmth comes because the characters are developed rather more than is usually the case in movies about (a) embezzlers or (b) eccentrics. the british comedy tradition accounts for these two genres quite completely; eccentrics are usually terry - thomas whistling through the gap in his teeth, and embezzlers usually try for a sort of efficient anonymity .
the company is run by a nervous american executive (karl malden) and his paranoid assistant (bob newhart). ustinov sails right past them with that peculiar british self - assurance that intimidates americans automatically. but he runs afoul of the girl who lives upstairs in his boarding house (maggie smith) .
she is equally incompetent as a secretary, a bus conductor, a theater usher, and a meter maid. they are both lonely, and one night miss smith invites ustinov to her apartment by accident. he begins to play the piano, and it develops that she plays the flute. they fall into a hesitant duet (one of the film' s most charming scenes), and she proposes marriage .
this is not, i suppose, a great comedy. but ustinov and miss smith act with a sort of natural appeal, and there are moments you will enjoy very much. especially recommended for computer programmers, their accomplices and their molls .

a computer whiz and his pregnant girlfriend set out to rob a massive corporation .
released from prison, marcus pendleton, an embezzler whose crime was discovered by a computer, decides to become a computer expert. he then befriends caesar smith, one of britain' s foremost computer authorities, and persuades him to leave the country. equipped with smith' s identity, pendleton is hired by ta - can - co. , an industrial conglomerate headed by carlton j. klemper; assisted by a charwoman, he programs the corporation' s computer to pay large monthly checks to three nonexistent companies. pendleton then makes secret trips to paris, rome, and frankfurt to collect and cash the checks. meanwhile, he has married his secretary, patty terwilliger. when pendleton learns that he is going to become a father, he leaves ta - can - co. and flees with patty to rio de janeiro. but klemper and his computer overseer, willard c. gnatpole, discover the fraud and follow the swindlers to rio. fortunately for pendleton, patty has invested some of the money and made a fortune in the stock market. after paying back the stolen money, the couple still have her funds, and pendleton is free to fulfill his ambition of becoming an orchestra conductor - - in whose orchestra patty plays the flute .

one of the things he does is meet maggie smith, in the form of a character named patty terwilliger. patty, like marcus, is one of those people success and glamour have passed by. she can' t keep a job (she loses a position as a meter maid because she doesn' t have the heart to give a ticket); she attracts wretched men; and, when she cooks dinner for a gentlemen caller, the meal burns on the stove .
but she does play the flute for marcus one night. and marcus, not totally bereft of talent, plays the piano to accompany her. they fall in love, of course, and it' s a scene that is something to see. the passion of two middle - aged failures finally breaking through the lone - liness of their lives can be much more exciting than steve mcqueen and faye dunaway playing an erotic game of chess .
needless of say, all is not happiness. there is willard k. knatpole, who tries to uncover ustinov' s illegal schemes and steal his woman at the same time. bob newhart plays the part, and, believe it or not, he' s funny. oozing nauseating lechery out of his beady eyes, he makes his rotten ugliness a splendid contrast with ustinov' s lovable ugliness .

reassured filmgoers that the genre of english caper comedy was still very much in vogue. offering a mischievous take on the man versus machine conflict ,
stars peter ustinov as marcus pendleton, an embezzler busted by computers and sent to prison. upon his release, pendleton is determined to harness computer technology to his financial advantage and sets upon his next con: reconfiguring the systems at his new company to issue checks to bogus entities, allowing pendleton to collect the cash. throw into the mix a ditzy cockney secretary, a moth - loving computer genius, and an antagonist named willard c. gnatpole, and the fun begins .
ustinov actually co - authored the script, which was nominated for an oscar in the category of best original screenplay .
was originally angled to be an american comedy, but reshaped by ustinov to be distinctly english. ustinov, with a prolific career as a film and stage director, playwright, author, and screenwriter gained acclaim and best supporting actor oscars for his acting roles in
, which undoubtedly contributed to its success. maggie smith stars as patty terwilliger, the spacey but delightful love interest. smith, who would go on to win the best actress oscar the next year for
, taps into her talent as a comedienne in this film, further establishing her versatile acting capabilities. the role was originally slated for lynn redgrave, but due to a delayed production schedule, redgrave was too heavily pregnant to continue the project, and smith was cast as a replacement. smith and ustinov, noted for their onscreen chemistry during the filming, would appear together again in
ten years later. they would also share honors in 1990 from the order of the british empire in which ustinov was knighted and smith made dame commander .
karl malden was cast as carlton j. klemper, head of ta can co, the company pendleton is currently swindling. malden is known for his heavyweight performances in elia kazan' s
by ustinov, allowing the method actor to try his hand at comedy. ustinov is also credited with the casting of bob newhart as gnatpole, klemper' s suspicious right - hand man, giving the actor his first major break into film. newhart' s greatest success, however, was in the medium of television; his two shows
are noteworthy: veteran screen actor robert morley turns in a performance as caesar smith, the computer whiz with an obsession for moths. caesar romero, the

a class action settlement involving gasoline fuel temperature could mean big fees and a lobbying slush fund for lawyers, with no benefit to consumers – if courts go along with it. this week, the competitive enterprise institute’s center for class action fairness, which is appealing the settlement agreement, filed its opening brief in the u. s. court of appeals for the tenth circuit .
“the settlement pays consumers zero dollars while the lawyers seek over $ 24 million, ” said ted frank, director of cei’s center for class action fairness. “the only relief offered in the settlement is to pay lawyers to lobby for new regulations and laws for expensive fuel temperature equipment. that outcome compels people to subsidize political lobbying they may (and should) oppose because it would make them worse off. and the technology in question has already been rejected by state regulators because it would cost drivers more than any discrepancy in temperature .
“so, the only beneficiaries in the settlement are the lawyers and their counterproductive legislative agenda, ” said frank. “this regulation through litigation is an abuse of both the court system and the class - action system, and that’s why we have appealed the district court' s approval of the settlement on multiple grounds. ”
the lawsuits began in 2007 when lawyers brought class actions against dozens of companies that operate retail gas stations, such as bp, chevron, and citgo, alleging consumer fraud over the way gasoline is measured. gasoline, like most liquids, expands with rising temperatures, meaning there are fewer molecules in a gallon when the temperature is warmer (and more when temperature is colder). those fewer molecules in warm temperatures cost drivers one cent per year on average, according to the california energy commission. but switching to an automatic temperature compensation (atc) system would prove not only costly but would offer no net benefit to the class as a whole.
