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.

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

Rating:  - Hilarious
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 ...

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.
Rating:  - Unfunny Comedy
HTMAM is a mediocrity.
No song-and-dance-numbers.No entertaining dialogue.
Characters which I didn't care much about.
Rating: - Great Movie, but it does seem dated
Most often this film is advertised as a "Marilyn Monroe" movie, but honestly it is more Lauren Bacall.Still a great film though.
I enjoy watching it from time to time, but Bacall's obsession with wealth can be a bit much.Betty Grable definitely has some of the best scenes, especially the one on the toll road!
This movie is good fun.
Rating: - Old but well Loved
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I loved it and I was glad to finally find another movie with Monroe that I really enjoyed and didn't think it was just ok. While the movie is great its extremely old in terms of the situations given to the characters. These woman would definitely not be likely characters in todays world without some major twiking. But even looking beside that this is probable one of my favorite performances by Marylin, if not my favorite for Betty Grable. It's definitely ... Read More
