How To Marry A Millionaire
Nunnally Johnsons Broadway comedy was brought to the big screen by
director Jean Negulesco, built around a trio of female stars, Lauren Bacall,
Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable. They play friends who come up with a
plan to find and marry rich men. They rent a lavish penthouse and use it as
their launching pad to lure men with money in the bank. But each
eventually finds that love is more important that material possessions,
though it takes a while. One running joke has Monroe so insecure about
her looks that she refuses to wear glasses, though this means she bumps
into furniture and walls. The other has Bacall rejecting suitor Cameron
Mitchell because he doesnt wear a tie, assuming this means hes low-class
when, in fact, hes the Donald Trump of 1954. Pre-feminist comedy
captures the mindset of an era in which womens identities were based on
the men they married. It has its moments, but much of the humor seems

dated, though its take on sexual politics is occasionally acute. --Marshall

Personal Review: How To Marry A Millionaire starring Marilyn
Monroe, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, David Wayne, Rory
Calhoun
These women will go to great lengths to land a rich husband, even if that
means selling all they have, living on hot dogs, and going to high society
parties to stake out the millionaires. The performances from all three of
these actresses are amazing! You can't help but laugh at the silly things
they say and do. I am a HUGE Marilyn Monroe fan, and it is one of my
favorite movies with her in it, even though I wish she had a slightly bigger
part. But hey-it's difficult to see more of her when they have to split the
screen time between three. I highly recommend this movie!
