The gold-plated trio of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall are looking for love, but only if it comes with cold hard cash, in this delightfully dandy comedy that offers up thee hilarious performances for the price of one! Three fashionable Manhattan models – Pola (Monroe), Loco (Grable) and Schatze (Bacall) – are women on a mission: they all want to marry a millionaire!   Looking for the man and the money of their dreams is almost a full-time job, and the search is offering up minimal returns. Almost broke, they pool their funds to rent a posh Manhattan penthouse in which they plan to lure their willing 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 leads to a series of riotous complications as they all learn that a rich man is actually worthless- unless you’re in love with him! 20th Century Fox’s first film to be shot in the spectacular new widescreen CinemaScope process, How to Marry a Millionaire features three of Classic Hollywood’s most legendary actresses at the top of their comedic games in a film that offers up a bounty of big laughs – and you can take that straight to the bank!
