What’s better: love or money? Money, duh! At least that’s what best friends Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable convince themselves of in this delightful escapist romp.
Three New York models—Shatze (Lauren Bacall), Pola (Marilyn Monroe), and Loco (Betty Grable)—set up in an exclusive apartment with a plan: tired of cheap men and a lack of money, they intend to use all their talents to snag three millionaires. The trouble is what happens when real love comes along? Co-starring William Powell in his second-to-last movie role, Cameron Mitchell, Rory Calhoun, Fred Clark, and David Wayne, How to Marry a Millionaire was the first comedy to be shot in CinemaScope and the second film to ever use the format. [95 min; comedy; English]
