Watching “The Millionaire” On Decades

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the television show, “The Millionaire” which was featured on “The Decades Binge this past weekend.

The show starred “another” Marvin Miller and truly took a revealing look at people’s character and heart. Episodes started with a character receiving a cashier’s check for a million dollars, tax free, from an anonymous benefactor.

As the television audience we knew he was “John Beresford Tipton,” but never saw him, only hearing the voice of Paul Frees as “Tipton” in every episode.

During the course of the weekend, I saw David Janssen, Lee Meriwether and a truly fine performance by John Anderson.

An episode directed by Robert Altman, who went on to great success in film, also was shown. It was great to see the show, “The Millionaire” again.

Maybe someone will approach me with a cashier’s check for a million dollars, sure and I have swamp land….

Marvin Miller as “Michael Antony” gives the actress, Inger Stevens “Barbara Perkins” (I researched it) a check for one million dollars on the television show, “The Millionaire.”
