How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)

*ing: Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama

3 women form an alliance and move to an upmarket apartment in Manhattan district in the hope of luring Millionaire men, seeking a short cut to money, easy life and probably fame. Great plan but does it work???? Will they find their Millionaires, how will they know their men are not lying, how will they know what their men are really worth? Well laid out, well scripted, well directed and good performances by the trio comprising of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall present a truly worth watching entertainer. Apparently this was the fist 'Cinemascope' movie which in 1953 was a big deal. Music is great, love the 50's music, love the enjoyable escapist experience of the early Hollywood movies. This one is a must must must watch, it may not be best Marilyn Monroe starring movies but this one is truly an enjoyable 90 odd min affair.
