Arrest Her for Bigamy
Added 3/17/2010
This classic and yet not-so-classic 1950s fluff probably had the guys drooling back in the day. I never liked this film much, being as it is a silly caper of dimwit dames trying to snag rich hubbies. It has its comic moments, and if you can stick it out, you'll actually hear some modern slang that you wouldn't think they had back then. Lauren Bacall is gorgeous here as always, what else can one say?

Classic Marilyn
Added 12/24/2009
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!!

How to Marry a Millionaire
Added 4/14/2009
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.

'Keep the change, Mac.'
Added 2/3/2009
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...

Hilarious
Added 7/30/2008
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!

Marilyn at her best.
Added 10/19/2009
Very nice used set. Haven't watched all the films yet, but the ones I did were very much like on the screen. But, what I saw so far certainly is Marilyn at her best when she was still alive. Sad story about her early childhood, which certainly did not reflect on her work on film. A nice keepsake for sure from a star who left us wondering.
