Born as Raymond Guion in New York in 1908, Gene Raymond is better known for his acting abilities, having been cast in 35 films before this one. It was towards the end of long screen career that Gene decided to try his hand at producing and directing movies. The classic adventure film Million Dollar Weekend was the first he directed and also starred in. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD. "Producer and director Gene Raymond has a point to make in this romantic drama - it doesn"t pay to cheat - and he has managed to get this point across to audiences in an enchanting manner through some laudable performances from his leading stars Stephanie Paull and Francis Lederer while giving a creditable performance himself. The plot is quite fascinating and has three characters, each an offender, coming together on a flight to Honolulu. Lederer"s portrayal of a smooth-talking, greedy blackmailer is captivating, while Stephanie Paull"s enactment of a charming, seductive and helpless lady is just wonderful. Raymond himself looks his part - a Wall Street type workaholic. The scenic splendor of Hawaii and grandiose indoor sets provide a fabulous setting for this timeless gem of a movie from A2ZCDS, which ends predictably with Stephanie in Nicholas"s arms. Don"t miss this suspense-packed romantic escapade of a financial executive who gets more than he bargains for when he tries to get away with a million dollars worth of security bonds!"
