Synopsis

Three screen goddesses Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, and Marilyn Monroe star as golddigging models blessed with fabulous looks but limited brain power. The three blondes pool their resources and conspire to nab millionaire husbands, renting an expensive penthouse to lure in their likely prey. But with Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell, David Wayne, Fred Clark, Alex D'Arcy, and William Powell playing the desired millionaires, the gals are pushed to the end of their wits as they try to decide whom to wed. Basing his work on two successful stage plays, famed producer and screenwriter Nunnally Johnson's dialogue is fabulous, and scenic views of Manhatten exploit the CinemaScope widescreen aesthetic. Director Jean Negulesco keeps the antics of the remarkable ensemble cast hyped to an outrageous level, which combines perfectly with both the script and the music to create exceptionally entertaining and classic camp. This film is a must-see for fans of Marilyn Monroe, who again asserts the brilliance of her comedic timing as the extremely myopic Pola, a woman who refuses to wear glasses because she fears that they ruin her looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sparkling Hollywood Gem Restored!, 14 Nov 2005

By	Trey Mercartn� - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

"How To Marry A Millionaire" is a typical 20th Century Fox comedy blockbuster of the 1950's. This movie is the very definition of a big, brassy and over-the-top Hollywood of days gone by, and it's all the more fabulous for it. The three leading ladies are wonderful - each providing something different from the other and all of them truly accomplished and talented comedy actresses.

Marilyn Monroe, for my money, steals the show hands down. She is absoloutley adorable in the film and she looks at her most beautiful, too. Many other beautiful women have drifted in and out of film over the years, but in "How To Marry A Millionaire" it should be obvious to anyone that Monroe is the most beautiful of them all, period. She is also puts in the kind of perfected comedy performance nobody else can. Betty Grable is wonderful, and just as hillarious and beautiful. Lauren Bacall leads the way and is pretty much flawless in her portrayal of the money-hunting ladies ring leader. The cinemaphotography is pure 1950's Hollywood and it looks pretty stunning, it has to be said. This was one of the first movies to use 20th Century Fox's Cinemascope format, which was baisically a 1950's version of today's Widescreen technique. This causes the only real problem for me, which is a lack of close-up's. This is something nearly all other Cinemascope pictures fall victim to. The only other possible complaint about the movie is that it's quite slow moving, but then so are nearly all other films from this time so it's perhaps not a very fair criticism.

So, all things considered, "How To Marry A Millionaire" is a very entertaining movie and a must see for fans of Monroe, Grable or Bacall. The script, although dated in places, holds up pretty well and even provides a rather poignant take on Sexual Politics in places. This DVD offers a wonderful restoration of a true Hollywood gem that remains as sparkly and fabulous as it must have been 50 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 30 Jul 2005

By	R. K. Harvey "harvey_rebecca" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is so funny, I've seen it so many times, yet still find myself laughing at the fantastic performances from Monroe, Grable and Bacall. Three lovely ladies make a pact to catch and marry a millionaire and they only need one,because where there's one there's more! However, what they don't expect is to fall in love with men who may not have any money! A Brilliant film that is sure to make you laugh!

5.0 out of 5 stars What is Burger worth?, 4 April 2005

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Three women, Bacall, Monroe and Grable make a pact to marry millionaires. They have a limited budget for the project and find unique ways to stretch their funds. They rent a hotel sweet and work their operation from there. As they hone in on their quarry, hamburgers from a gas pump jockey are fortifying one. Another is spying out the land and forests. A third checks out a lodge.

This movie is packed with many haps and mishaps as they maneuver and are maneuvered.
As zero hr approaches will they land their potential husbands?
And is a millionaire what they want?
