At every entrance of a particular soundstage at Culver Studios in Culver City, Calif., there are armed guards standing watch. No, that doesn’t mean the president or the Hope Diamond is inside — but even with security at the gates of the studio lot, a million bucks in cold, hard cash is nothing to take lightly.
On Monday, Dec. 20, Fox premieres back-to-back hours of “Million Dollar Money Drop,” a game show from the international company Endemol USA, which also produces NBC’s “Deal or No Deal” and ABC’s “Wipeout.” It airs for one hour on Tuesday and Wednesday of that week and for two hours on Thursday, with additional airdates to be announced.
While the money amounts on “Deal” are just numbers on a tote board, the prize in “Drop” consists of bundles of real bills, which contestants can handle, perhaps for the only time before watching them fall out of their lives forever.
The towering set looks like a mixture of “Star Trek,”“Tron” and the sacrificial altar from “King Kong.”The contestants — usually married couples, sometimes dating couples or friends — and host Kevin Pollak stand on a Plexiglas platform 20 feet in the air, surrounded by the audience, over a mirrored floor. It’s a dramatic setting that produces dramatic results.
“I’ll be honest with you,” says Pollak, “a lot of people jump on me when they first rush out. There’s such a rush of energy when the show starts, when I introduce them, they come rushing out like rhinos with their arms out.
“I’ve tried to develop methods of stopping them without being rude. I tried putting up one hand, encouraging a high-five, but they blow right past that. I don’t know what I’m going to do about that.”
Trivia questions are posed, with multiple-choice answers written on movable platforms. The players must pile cash bundles on the answers they believe are right (or the only right answer, if they’re sure). Money placed on wrong answers drops away, and with any luck, there’s still some left over when players get to the end.
“The idea was to put it 20 feet up in the air,” says executive producer Jeff Apploff, “give people a daunting feeling.We’re handing you a million bucks in cash. We’re only going to give you seven questions.
“We’re making you a millionaire:‘Here’s your million bucks.’ We give you choices, and you have to pay the consequences for those choices.”
“What’s great,” says Pollak, “even when it’s just friends, is the human drama and the element in between people who, often, when the questions come up, have photo-opposite opinions but must work as a team, a unit, because they’re in it together.”
For example, “According to the Lenox Report, which of these is the most popular Thanksgiving side dish: mashed potatoes, green-bean casserole, cranberry sauce or candied yams?”
You’ll have to watch to figure out the answer, but considering that green-bean casserole and candied yams could be considered regional specialties, and cranberry sauce is more of, well, a sauce ... or, maybe not.
“How much money are you going to put on each?” says Pollak.“I love that part of it.”

With Christmas falling on a Saturday this year, there’s one last full week — well, almost before St. Nick makes his annual rounds.
Thanks to television, DVD and Blu-ray, there also are chances to give yourself some extra holiday cheer with movies that invoke the yuletide. Here’s a look at some of our favorites, those that are very traditional in their use of the holidays ... and others, not as much.
Traditional:
“White Christmas” (1954), Jay Bobbin: A sure sign of the season, this enduring delight reutilizing elements of the earlier “Holiday Inn,” including Irving Berlin music — guarantees warm feelings as soon as the title tune’s first notes sound over the opening credits. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are teamed memorably as ex-soldiers, now a successful song-and-dance team.
They take their act to a Vermont inn operated by their former commander (Dean Jagger), who has fallen on hard times and may have to shutter the place ... but not if Crosby and Kaye, along with two comely sisters (Rosemary Clooney,Vera-Ellen), can help it. Also notable as the film that introduced Paramount Pictures’VistaVision process, it gets multiple Christmas Eve showings Friday, Dec. 24, on AMC.
“A Christmas Carol” (1938), John Crook: I’m a “Christmas Carol” junkie, and this faithful early MGM adaptation, which casts real-life acting couple Gene and Kathleen Lockhart as the senior Cratchits, is fine on
many counts. But look closely at the kids, which include their real daughter, June (“Lost in Space”), who years later would charm me in an interview with warm memories of that film, as well as the Christmas traditions she and her parents shared back then in Hollywood, when they would open their home to other Brit actors pulling holiday jobs in California. I still treasure that chat.
“It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946), Jacqueline Cutler:Though inescapable during the holidays and essentially a twist on “A Christmas Carol,” try watching this film without crying.This is the only movie I know precisely when I first saw it — July 23, 1983. It was a week before my wedding, and my fiance couldn’t believe I had never seen it.While we watched Jimmy Stewart, as George Bailey, become the richest man in Bedford Falls, my car was burglarized, and wedding gifts, just retrieved from the
post office, were stolen.Yet the inscription guardian angel Clarence (Thomas Mitchell) wrote to George resonates:“Remember, George, no man is a failure who has friends.”
“Miracle on 34th Street” (1947), Kate O’Hare:This film dangles the tantalizing proposition that Santa Claus is not just a nice man in a red suit and then provides a surprising legal resolution. Customers love Macy’s store Santa Kriss Kringle (Edmund Gwenn), but his calm assertion that he’s the real thing gets him accused of insanity. His unlikely defender is a stubbornly rational little girl (Natalie Wood) whose divorced mother (Maureen O’Hara) has banned all fantasy.With a little help from the U.S. Postal Service (how often is that agency a hero?) and some deductive reasoning, Kringle — along with love, faith and imagination — is vindicated.
“Love Actually” (2003), Jay Bobbin: Directing one of his scripts for the first time, Richard Curtis (“Four Weddings and a Funeral,”“Notting Hill”) infuses the many plots of his somethingfor-everyone romantic comedydrama with the holiday season from the start, as a washed-up rock star (the superb Bill Nighy) has trouble converting the Troggs’ pop standard “Love Is All Around” into a Christmas-oriented version.
Frequent Curtis doppelganger Hugh Grant plays England’s new prime minister, Colin Firth appears as a jilted writer, Andrew Lincoln (“The Walking Dead”) is an acquaintance of new bride Keira Knightley, Alan Rickman portrays an office boss with Laura Linney one of his employees, and Liam Neeson is the stepfather of a wise-beyond-his-years schoolboy (Thomas Sangster, who — trivia alert! — is a real-life cousin of Grant). And they’re all affected by, and affecting in, matters of the heart. Lifetime will run the picture twice on Christmas Eve.
“The Ref” (1994), John Crook: I like to pull this one out when I reach that inevitable point where my holiday goodwill is at its lowest ebb.This acidly funny, grandly acted yarn about a harried burglar (Denis Leary) who is forced to take a relentlessly bickering married couple (Judy Davis, Kevin Spacey) hostage on Christmas Eve just gets funnier every time I see it.The classy supporting cast, with Christine Baranski and Glynis Johns, doesn’t hurt, either. A few sips of this improbable mix of eggnog and bitters — lots and lots of bitters — can lift the fa-lala-la-lousiest funk for me.
