The Full Monty

You may ask, “Tia, if you were Monty Brewster and you had to spend $30 million in 30 days, what would be the first thing you’d buy?”

“Why, a 1902 first edition copy of the novel Brewster’s Millions, in which the 1985 classic film was based upon,” I’d respond.

Total price? $3.15. Only $29,999,996.85 to go.

There are no Hackensack Bulls* in this version.

*The Hackensack Bulls is the minor league baseball team Monty pitches for.

Bet you didn’t know that the Richard Pryor movie was based on a book from over 100 years ago? Did you know that it’s been adapted into a play and nine film adaptations?
