Film: HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE

Director: Jean Negulsco

Actors: Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell, William Powell

Year: 1953

Synopsis: Three young women set their sights on marrying wealthy men in 1950s Manhattan.

I'm not a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, but she actually did very well in this comedic role. Along with sexy Lauren Bacall and bubbly Betty Grable, Monroe is out to catch herself a rich husband. Bacall is at her best as a cynical beauty who thinks she has it all figured out.
