Production
Le Million was director René Clair's second sound film. Initially, he had been skeptical of the value that sound would bring, saying that it was "an unnatural creation, just useful for canned theater." He detested the other sound films of the day and their dedication to the slavish dialogue. He would change his feelings when he realized that he could also apply a soundtrack to a film, a strategy he used in Le Million, 3 years after the first sound film was released.
