Question
Movie about a housewife who finds that money is growing in her flowers.  I saw this as a 9 year old forty years ago.  I would love to find the title of this movie.

Answer
Hi Sondra,

I'm pretty sure you're describing the 1952 comedy from Universal-International  Pictures, "It Grows On Trees".
It starred the wonderful actress Irene Dunne, with Dean Jagger and Joan Evans.
You can read the full synopsis on:    http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=79494

AND,...even though it hasn't been released on VHS or DVD,...you CAN watch it (in segments) on :  www.YouTube.com  
(Just typein the movie title.

Sincerely,

Jim K.
