Description
They're three beautiful models, looking for the man and the money of their dreams! Almost broke, they pool their funds to rent a posh Manhattan penthouse in which they plan to lure their victims. But the gold digger's plans suddenly go awry when two of them fall for men who appear to be poor! Trying to stop each other from marrying the wrong guy, Monroe, Grable, Bacall deliver the finest comedic performances of their careers. And they learn that a rich man is actually worthless- unless you're in love with him!

Amazon.com
Nunnally Johnson's 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 doesn't wear a tie, assuming this means he's low-class when, in fact, he's the Donald Trump of 1954. Pre-feminist comedy captures the mindset of an era in which women's 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 Fine

A wonderful classic from the 1950s about three women with the perfect plan for future happiness. To marry millionaires. What they don't count on is in their search for a rich husband is finding true love and having to decide which they would rather marry for love or money.

This is not only Marilyn's best ever, but also Betty's and Lauren's. It is for people who love New York, and comedy at it's most glamorous.

I always love Marilyn Monroe movies. Her wit, charm and 'realness' always shines through. This one is a favorite of mine and when I found it in DVD form, just had to have it!!

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!

Three models (Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall) pool their resources to rent an expensive penthouse apartment in New York, each girl hoping to catch a wealthy husband...

Cameron Mitchell helps Betty Grable with groceries one morning and meets and falls in love with Bacall... But she rejects him, thinking he is a 'gas pump jockey.'

The girls are nearly broke when Grable introduces them to an oil tycoon, a widower (William Powell) who becomes interested in Bacall... Grable takes a trip with wealthy and married Fred Clark, under the impression that they are going to a convention in Maine... Once at his lodge, she realizes they will be alone and is set to return to New York when she suddenly felt sick... A forest ranger named Rory Calhoun comes into her life, and they fall in love...

Marilyn leaves by plane to meet her one-eyed playboy Alex D'Arcy in Atlantic City, but because she refuses to wear glasses in public to correct her nearsightedness, she gets on the wrong plane... On board she meets David Wayne, the owner of their penthouse apartment, who is on his way to Kansas City to find his tax accountant because of whom he is in trouble with the revenue department...

Bacall, left alone and without money, agrees to marry the oilman Powell...

"How to be a Millionaire" was the second CinemaScope film ever made, the first being "The Robe." The film marked David Wayne's last movie appearance with Marilyn... He made four pictures with her, more than any other actor...

  • Iran Takes Next Step In Uranium Enrichment
    Iran said Monday it will begin enriching uranium to a higher grade than it has in the past. The U.S. and its partners say they are left with few options than to try to tighten the financial screws over Iran's suspected nuclear weapons ambitions.
  • Some Haitians Wary Of Baptist Missionaries
    An Idaho community is waiting for news about the local Baptist missionaries still being held on kidnapping charges in Haiti. The group from Central Valley Baptist Church outside Boise is charged with trying to take Haitian children out of the country illegally. NPR's Jeff Brady went to services today at the church and tells host Guy Raz that some people in town are a little wary about the arrested Americans.
  • Pro-Russian Candidate Declares Victory In Ukraine
    Pro-Russian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych declared victory in Ukraine's presidential runoff but his opponent rejected the claim, saying the vote was too close to call. Exit polls showed Yanukovych — the main foe of protesters in Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution — with a narrow lead in Sunday's vote over Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, a key figure in those pro-democracy protests.
  • Sanctions Turn Tables In U.S.-China Relations
    In something of a role reversal, China has announced its plans to sanction U.S. companies involved in selling arms to Taiwan. This harder line reflects the changing power dynamics between China, a country with a booming economy, and the U.S., which is still pulling out of a recession. Host Liane Hansen speaks with Kurt Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian affairs, about changing U.S.-China relations.
  • Critics Worry About Shanghai Expo's Legacy
    China's largest city is preparing to host the 2010 World Expo, a world's fair expected to draw 70 million visitors. But critics say construction of the exposition and the face-lift to neighborhoods is bringing environmental concerns and altering the character of the city. Some voices of dissent are being muzzled.
  • Enthusiasm For Winter Games Falling In Vancouver
    Even as crowds gather in British Columbia to watch the torch on its way to Vancouver, the city's residents are divided over the Olympics. The cost to taxpayers and the increased security presence in the city have some questioning whether playing host is worth the hassle.
  • Ukraine Voters Pass Judgment On The Orange Revolution
    Sunday should mark the end of a bitterly-fought presidential campaign in Ukraine. But many people across the former Soviet republic fear whichever candidate loses will challenge the results in court. That is exactly what happened at the end of 2004, when a court threw out a rigged election and street protests began what became known as the Orange Revolution. NPR's David Greene reports from Kiev's Independence Square, the heart of those 2004 protests.
  • Pakistanis Claim To Foil Plot To Target Americans
