About Dreams That Money Can Buy
An attempt to bring the work of surrealist artists to a wider public. The plot is that of an average Joe who can conjure up dreams that will improve his customer's lives. This frame story serves as a link between several avant-garde sequences created by leading visual artists of their day, most of whom were emigres to the US during WWII.
Directed by Hans Richter, Dreams That Money Can Buy leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Bittner, Dorothy Griffith, Libby Holman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1947.
