Description:
Bring home surefire Disney fun starring classic comedians Dean Jones, Sandy Duncan, and Joe Flynn. Research professor Albert Dooley (Jones) is stuck with past-due bills and one downy, dense lab duck. But an ordinary bird turns extraordinary when he is accidentally zapped with radiation and casually starts laying the proverbial 'golden eggs.' Cashing in on newfound riches becomes a sidesplitting scramble as the secret gets out and friends, neighbors, and government T-men mount an all-out quack attack to capture the rare bird. It's heartwarming hilarity that will keep the whole family in stitches!
Amazon.com:
Disney’s classic 1971 comedy about the goose that lay the golden eggs returns in digital format, retaining its old-style family-friendliness, slapstick silliness, and good-natured predictability. Dean Jones plays professor Albert Dooley, a lab worker down on his luck, who lives in suburbia with his earnest yet scatterbrained wife Katie (played deliciously by Sandy Duncan). When an under-performing lab duck’s life is in jeopardy, Dooley rescues him to become a family pet and soon discovers that some earlier exposure to radiation has turned the duck’s eggs into gold. The Dooley’s newfound wealth brings its share of pandemonium as they try to keep their proverbial 'nest egg' under wraps, especially from nosy neighbor Finley Hooper (Joe Flynn), a government Treasury man. Such low-tech fare is not without touches of brilliance: Duncan gets to deliver the best lines and does so with great panache. If Million Dollar Duck falls short in inventiveness, this small serving of comfort food satisfies with ample amounts of warmhearted cheer. (Ages 4 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Rating:  - Where is the boxing?
I guess that this was my fault, but it was an honest mistake. I bought this movie hoping to see Hillary Swank bounce around In a sports bra, then break her neck. I popped a bowl of corn and got a nice glass of lemonade, and settled in for two hours of bouncing and breaking, but that didn't happen.
Instead, I got sandy Duncan and Dean Jones in a romantic romp about a duck that lays golden eggs. It was a good film, and I'm glad I own it, but does that boxing movie even exist? I can't find any ... Read More

But his father comes home with a duck, a duck that lay solid gold eggs.
Rating: - Be careful what you wish for...
This Disney family comedy was released theatrically in 1971, and aired on the "The Wonderful World of Disney" television show in 1974, '79, and '82. Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan (in the dippiest role of her life) are married couple that is having a hard time making it. Their son wants a dog, but they can't afford it. The father is working at a laboratory that uses animals as test subjects for intelligence, and his duck subject is a failure. One day it gets gamma rays by accident and the boss says, "Get ...

Another fantastic family movie. Great for any age. Very funny and totally free of any shocking scenes. One you can enjoy over and over.
Rating: - Million Dollar Duck
I am delighted to see that two of my favorite Disney films have been released on dvd, "Million Dollar Duck" and "The Barefoot Executive." Descriptions of the plots for these movies are already noted here, but I will say that both these films are very enjoyable family viewing. I can remember going to the theater as a child and watching these films, and I still enjoy them today. Nobody's claiming they're the best films ever, or even the best Disney films ever, just good, fun entertainment in the grand ... Read More
