It Grows on Trees is a 1952 American fantasy comedy film directed by Arthur Lubin and starring Irene Dunne, Dean Jagger, Joan Evans and Richard Crenna. The film marks Dunne's final screen appearance. It was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Production

The screenplay is based on a story of the same title by Leonard Praskin and Barney Slater. They brought the story to Arthur Lubin, who then presented it to producer Leonard Goldstein at Universal Pictures. The studio agreed to finance the project, and in September 1951, Irene Dunne agreed to star. The film's title was There's Nothing Like Money.

Dunne requested Dean Jagger as her costar after his performance in My Son John. Joan Evans was borrowed from Samuel Goldwyn, who had borrowed Peggy Dow from Universal for I Want You the previous year.

The filmmakers negotiated with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which maintained strict rules on the creation of fake money. The department agreed to allow fake bills for the film, but with several conditions. The producers were instructed to avoid showing the money in closeup shots and to reassemble any bills that were shown to have been cut into pieces.
