The Millionaire (1956, 1958 США)
The Millionaire: The Arthur Darner Story (S2E21), The Dan Howell Story (S5E10)
Each week, never-seen billionaire John Beresford Tipton had his secretary Michael Anthony present a million-dollar cashier’s cheque to an individual.
The drama was provided by the reactions and plans of the recipients.
The only catch for recipients was that they were told never to reveal where they received the money from, nor to search for the donor — or they would forfeit the gift.
Американский сериал-антология, в каждой серии которого разные люди получают чек на миллион долларов, с условием держать этот сюрприз в тайне — и показывается, как меняется жизнь этих людей.
