Storyline

- TriviaNear the conclusion of the movie, just before Jimmy captures Charlie the duck, there is a Volkswagen Beetle with the license plate OFP 857 and inside the vehicle is a Great Dane. The tag was the very same as Herbie's in The Love Bug (1969), another Disney movie starring Dean Jones that was the first in a series of "Love Bug" films. The dog is the same breed as in The Ugly Dachshund (1966), also starring Dean Jones.
- GoofsKatie hands Albert his lunch bag, telling him that the applesauce is on top, which suggests that there are other lunch items in the bag. Later, when the chimpanzee opens the sack, there's only the applesauce.

Jimmy Dooley: I didn't want a duck! I wanted a puppy!
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening credits, an animated duck lays six eggs. Then, it places a "1" and a "$ " before these eggs. After it adds commas, the eggs turn golden with a cash register sound. The third egg then expands and blends into the opening scene.

Featured review
Made Disney more then $1,000,000
As a kid in the early seventies I remember clips from $1,000,000 duck being shown on Disney Time and Screen Test. I think it's a head nod to a certain bad tempered duck who made Disney more then $1,000,000. It's interesting to see Tony Roberts in something not directed by Woody Allen. I first saw it in full in the mid -seventies when the BBC showed it on Christmas Eve (that was the days when Disney was very grudging about their stuff being shown to anything other than a full cinema audience). A good film, a satire on greed and the American Dream.
