How to marry a millionaire 1953

User Reviews

How to Marry a Millionaire is one of the brightest and wittiest comedies of the fifties and certainly quite an eyeful when you’ve got three leads of the caliber of Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable.

These three lovely girls, following the cue from Lauren Bacall, chip in and get a long term lease on a swank apartment where the owner has had to leave the country because of income tax problems. The post World War II years saw a lot of that happening. The idea is to set up a mantrap, put up a good front in the hopes of attracting men with wealth. And all three come up with men of all varieties.

Betty unfortunately takes up with the already married, but not working at it too hard Fred Clark. His plans for a romantic getaway with her are spoiled by her coming down with an adult case of the measles and Grable catching sight of Forest Ranger Rory Calhoun. You will love the way the scheming Fred Clark gets nailed.

Marilyn meets up with David Wayne, the guy whose apartment the women have taken over. In Marilyn fashion she gets on the wrong plane with Wayne, thinking it was Atlantic City instead of Kansas City.

And Bacall the most determined of all to marry a millionaire. She has her choice between elderly sophisticated William Powell and earnest young Cameron Mitchell.

The irony of this film is that all three women set out to trap a bankroll, yet all three fall for people themselves. No telling what fate has in store for you.

How to Marry a Millionaire is the next to last film of William Powell and his first after leaving his long term contract at MGM. He’s the picture of elegance and sophistication. Listening to every line from his mouth is a joy.

Nunnally Johnson’s screenplay and Jean Negulesco’s direction make How to Marry a Millionaire one of the best films of the Fifties. Catch those lines referring to the celebrity husbands of Bacall and Grable.

I hate the merchandising people at the major studios. Often, to boost sales they misrepresent movies to attract audiences. One of the worst examples is 20th Century-Fox’s marketing of videotapes and DVDs of films in which Marilyn Monroe appeared. While HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE isn’t the worst case, by looking at the box art you’d assume that she was the lead in this film. In reality, there were three leads—Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall. It was truly an ensemble film. Now as I said, this was not the worst example. In many of her earliest films Monroe was only a bit player—yet she is prominently featured on the cover art! Take a look at the art on the IMDb pages for THE ASPHALT JUNGLE, LOVE HAPPY or MONKEY BUSINESS—you’ll see what I mean even though she was a supporting or bit actress in these films.

In HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE, it’s actually good that you have the ensemble cast. After all, how can you make it a story about three money-hungry roommates if Monroe plays all three parts!! Plus, at the time the film was made, Betty Grable received top billing as she was the more established and prestigious star at the time. A few short years later, Miss Grable’s career would be over and Monroe would shoot to super-stardom.

The story is a remake, though I haven’t seen any of the previous versions. Three ladies decide to live together in a swank Manhattan apartment as they try to hook themselves wealthy husbands.

Grable’s love interest is Fred Clark—a rich man with the disposition of a sour pickle. He is already married and really isn’t interested in marriage—just making Grable his mistress. Her character is the ditsy one—naive and dumb and she fails to grasp how nasty Clark is.

Bacall is the most-pursued in the film—with an apparently poor guy (Cameron Mitchell) Grable met in a deli pursuing her as well as nice-guy William Powell. She is the supposedly smart one of the three but has a hard time reading men—even though the scheme is hers.

As for Monroe, she is sort of like a middle ground between her other two roommates. She’s not as ditsy nor as bright as the other two. Despite her amazing looks, she isn’t quite as ardently pursued as you’d expect in the film! Heck, I’d expect ALL the men in the film to chase after her! And, as for finding a millionaire, this shouldn’t be a problem! One of her love interests in the film is the unlikely David Wayne and their scenes together are marvelous.

Despite all the girls’ plans, things don’t turn out in the end like any of them envisioned. They all get men who they really had no intention in getting. yet like a Hollywood film, everything works out wonderfully at the end. Along the way, the film is chock full of nice little vignettes and performances all due to good acting and a very agreeable script. I particularly liked the nice role played by William Powell—his graceful presence did a lot to add class to the film, though there were several other nice performances as well. Plus, everything just looked and sounded so nice—with the film being shot in CinemaScope and with lovely music throughout. It was obvious that 20th Century-Fox pulled out all the stops for this production. I’d give this one an 8 and it’s well worth seeing.

By the way, read through the IMDb trivia for the film and you’ll find one of the dumbest forced changes to a film of the era. The powers that be at the censor board would not allow Miss Monroe to say the old saying «men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses»—as it was apparently too racy or something else that is beyond me!! Huh.

Loco Dempsey, Pola Debevoise and Schatze Page, each one a pretty model, their goal in life?, to marry millionaires. They set themselves up in a top apartment and set about wooing any potential suitors, trouble is is that it’s hard to tell the rich from the normal, and love may just have a say after all.

Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall play our three dubiously motivated ladies, each one putting a delightful stamp on each respective character. Filmed in CinemaScope, New York is beautifully realised and with the restored DVDs available, the colour positively gleams on the screen. The story itself is a fun one, tho at its core it’s of course greedy and selfish, but this is a romantic comedy that plays out with delightful ease, and thankfully doesn’t contain pointless filler scenes to purely showcase the actresses on show.

Monroe has never looked as pretty as she does here, some of her other films are obviously more famous, but she radiates sexiness and with her character being vision impaired, she gets to show the wonderful comedic talent that she definitely had. Bacall clearly is the best actor on show, so it’s no surprise that she gets the best written part, at times bitter, intelligent and determined, her Schatze Page character is the glue binding the picture together. Betty Grable is solid without really impacting a great deal, with the boys offering entertaining support. How To Marry A Millionaire is simply a delightful movie that never over tries your patience, it’s a fun ride with a little something for everyone, and it cheerily pays you off at the end. 7/10

This entertaining film has the three girls (Pola, played by Marilyn Monroe in specs; Schatze, played by Lauren Bacall and looking rather mumsy; and Loco, played by Betty Grable with those fabulous legs) setting up shop in an apartment, ready to reel in wealthy husbands.

The boys in question include David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, Cameron Mitchell, William Powell, and Alex D’Arcy. Trying to figure out the scheming girls is hard for them, especially when the girls are going all out to hide their real personalities!

The film, the first filmed in CinemaScope, although the second to be released, remains as slick and witty as ever. While the three girls chase rich husbands they somehow end up marrying for love.

Personally for me it is Lauren Bacall and William Powell that standout. their witty knowing conversations are a true delight. Mr Powell shows just why he was so highly regarded. He has a magnificent calm and dignified presence beautifully complimented by Mrs Bogart’s cool chic.

The film is beautifully restored on the DVD with fine colour and sound.

The opening sequence/overture of course was designed to show off both the brand new wide screen and stereo sound. It seems slightly redundant now but is still a fabulous piece of music by Alfred Newman.

So turn the lights down, turn up the stereo and step back to 1953 and watch a consumate piece of entertainment

. because Fox did the same with the «multiple girls looking for love/millionaires in a foreign country» bit. There was «Ladies In Love» (1936) set in Budapest, a long pause caused by WWII and the lack of safe countries in which to find a millionaire, then this film set in New York because the world was still a bit of a jumble, then «Three Coins in The Fountain (1954) set in Rome.

The only storyline I really care is for Marilyn Monroe and David Wayne. They make her ridiculous, Mr. Magoo-level blind, to the point where you wonder how she didn’t wander into traffic or fall down a manhole five years ago, but there is a scene on the plane that is priceless involving this joke. William Powell brings quiet dignity to a non-comic role in a comedy. I would have rather seen Lauren Bacall end up with him, frankly. The bit that goes on the ENTIRE movie where we know Cameron Mitchell is loaded, and Bacall doesn’t find out until the last 15 seconds, ugh. I mean, I know it’s to prove that she’s capable of falling in love regardless of the guy’s financial status, but it’s a thin joke to carry on that long. And Betty Grable’s character, frankly, it’s just hard to believe anyone could be THAT stupid, mistaking what Fred Clark means when he says he wants to take her to his lodge in Maine and mistaking what Rory Calhoun means when he says all that land «is mine». And I know they wanted to wow everyone with the Cinemascope shot that shows the whole orchestra at once, but opening a screwball comedy with a six-minute static shot of an orchestra playing a downbeat piece totally kills the momentum before the story even starts. In the theater, I guess this is when people were still getting popcorn. At home, it’s unwatchable.

Bette Grable, Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall make quite a team in this 1953 fun film. Bacall is the leader of the girl pack whose quest is to get 3 rich guys. They take an expensive apartment along the way.

Bacall has by far the best lines in the film. She comes off with her constant wisecracks and they are hilarious at best.

Monroe is perfect as her usual dumb blond. Grable is literally Loco in this flick as well.

The film reunites David Wayne and Rory Calhoun as two of the suitors. Both had appeared together a year earlier in the Jane Froman musical-drama biography of «With A Song in My Heart,» with Susan Hayward.

The ending is quite a pleasant surprise. Resigned to marrying a relative pauper, Bacall and the others are literally floored when a millionaire reveals himself instead.

A fun film showing that money isn’t necessarily everything.

This was the first movie filmed in Cinemascope, or at least, one of the first ones to use the new technique. Jean Negulesco, the director, gives it a great reading of the play in which the film is based. Nunnally Johnson, is given credit as an adapter, but also acted as the producer.

The film was innocent fun by 1953 standards. We are presented with three girls that would be room mates in a gorgeous New York apartment. The only problem is none of them have any money. What to do? Try to attract a man with enough money to keep them in a style they were not accustomed to live!

The trio of young women are beautiful. We have the brainy Schatze in charge of the household. Then there are the myopic Pola, and the flighty Loco. It’s clear that the only one with a head on her shoulders si Schatze, who knows how to move in the cafe society of the New York of those years. Unfortunately, the women’s choice in men is awful. Two of them end up with guys that are just making a living, and in a surprise at the last moment, the last girl gets a real millionaire when she only thought he was a working class stiff!

The film, although light, it’s still fun to watch. Lauren Bacall is the one that fares better in the film, not only does she get the prize package, but she gives an intelligent account of her elegant and sophisticated Schatze. Betty Grable doesn’t have much to do, and a bespectacled Marilyn Monroe, does a lot with her character.

William Powell makes a great appearance as the older man in Schatze’s life. He still was showing his charm as the Texas man with enough sense to resign being married to a much younger woman. David Wayne, Cameron Mitchell, Rory Calhoun, Fred Clark, are the men in the lives of the would be gold diggers.

This is a film to be seen as a curiosity film made in the new technology of Cinemascope.

Three models set out to land some «rich millionaires» in «How to Marry a Millionaire,» a cinemascope extravaganza starring Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, and Marilyn Monroe. To show off the new, wide screen system and stereo sound, there is an overture and finale which today seem unnecessary.

I just had a wonderful opportunity to catch a screening of this film on a wide screen. What a treat!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best print; lots of dust and scratches on reel changes, and the colors were quite faded, but these films simply must be seen on a wide screen with an audience to be truly appreciated. Of course, almost any movie is improved by seeing it at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, and I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity.

This one is probably best enjoyed in the widescreen version rather than the pan and scan shown on some TV stations. It’s a witty delight from start to finish, with Monroe doing a delightful impersonation of a near-sighted blonde ashamed to wear glasses and always walking into walls; Grable as a snappy charmer who gets hooked into a trip to Maine thinking she’s going to a convention; and Bacall as the know-it-all sophisticate with the sharp tongue who’s good at bossing others around.

While Bacall is great in the role, it’s really an alienating part and she can’t always disguise the fact that her character—in real life—would be considered an annoying bitch. True, she has some of the best lines, but the sarcasm stings a little too much at times and her treatment of doormen and furniture movers is very condescending.

So, it’s up to Grable and Monroe to keep things light and breezy, and that they do. Also on hand for some sophisticated charm is WILLIAM POWELL in one of his last screen roles, RORY CALHOUN as a forest ranger who attracts Betty’s eye, and CAMERON MITCHELL as a man who turns out to be someone Bacall should have treated with more respect.

It’s fun all the way, easy to take and easy on the eyes whenever the three stars cavort around the screen in assorted fashion ensembles.

What a disappointment! I remember looking at this cast, seeing Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall as the three leading ladies and thinking, «Wow, this ought to be great.»

Well, the «wow» turned to «yawn» and «groan» too many times to recommend this overblown mess. The humor was lame and Bacall, who I loved in the ’40s films, was just plain annoying with the snotty character she effectively played. She had the most lines in here, too.

Monroe, as always, was fun to watch and the message in here is good: one shouldn’t marry for money, but, otherwise the film was a bust, pun somewhat intended. Grable was disappointing, too. Looks-wise and attitude-wise, only Monroe was appealing. In short: the film is a bummer; don’t waste your time.

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

Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe play three blonde bombshells who set out to set themselves up with millionaires, only to find, predictably, that true love isn’t something that can be bought.

The film does prove that Marilyn Monroe looks adorable in glasses.

The scope technique and the opening on screen orchestra seem to be setting viewers up for something special; but the script is absolute run-of-the-mill doggerel. Two funny jokes and three gold-diggers do not make a good followup to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes which was abundant with entertainment, great songs, and had a good script with memorable, funny lines. Not so here. Whoever thought the best use of Bacall was portraying a shrewish, castrating bitch (You’re supposed to like her) has some bizarre ideas about entertainment. She’s about as enjoyable as spending 2 hours with rule-flogging Dr. Laura.

While Gentlemen Prefer Blondes offered a knowing satire of the gender war with something for every member of the audience to enjoy; this is a big misfire. There is no wink at the audience. Men are idiots to be taken to the cleaners, whether they’re villainous (Waldo Brewster), virtuous (Freddie Denmark, Eben, JD Hanley ) or victimized (Brookman). They’re just 2-dimensional cash sources here. You’re not supposed to mind, although there’s zero comedy to it, and little art to their gals wheedling; the movie depicts a world where men seem to enjoy bold, rude, calculating interrogations about their finances.

Grable barely registers. Monroe is wasted. Successful jokes are few and far between. These chicks are boorish.

The three stars play models sharing a New York flat. All of them have ambitions to marry a wealthy man. There are three separate plot lines. Schatze is dating the wealthy, cultivated widower J.D. Hanley, but he is concerned that he is too old for her. (He is 55, she 25). Loco has agreed to go with a businessman to his «lodge» (believing he is referring to an Elks Club meeting) but it turns out that he is married, that the building in question is actually a hunting lodge in Maine and that his intentions towards her are far from honourable. Pola is interested in a dubious oil tycoon but is saved from him when she accidentally gets on the wrong plane at the airport. (Her bad eyesight, and her reluctance to wear glasses, are running jokes throughout the film).

Today the «gold digger» genre seems outdated, even offensive. Feminists will take offence at the suggestion that every woman’s ideal in life should be marriage to a wealthy man. Masculists (if such a word exists) might take offence at the idea that a man’s worth, either as a husband or in any other capacity, can be measured by the size of his bank balance. There have been modern romantic comedies such as «Pretty Woman» or «Maid in Manhattan» on the theme of «poor girl marries rich man» (and some such as «Notting Hill» on the theme of «poor boy marries rich woman»), but the heroines (or heroes) of such films are not normally as coldly calculating as Schatze or Lorelei. Even in 1953 mercenary attitudes of this sort were not to everyone’s taste- including, it would seem, the taste of the scriptwriters. All three girls undergo a change of heart by the end of the film.

Despite my reservations about films of this type, I still found that «Gentleman Prefer Blondes» remains enjoyable more than fifty years after it was made. It may lack any great depth, but the script is often witty, the musical numbers are good and there is good chemistry between Russell and Monroe. «How to Marry a Millionaire» is not, however, really in the same class. Marilyn, admittedly, is charming, as she normally was, but her acting skills are not tested in the same way as they were in the earlier film. Neither Grable nor Bacall makes much of an impression. I cannot agree with the reviewer who felt that Bacall was too old for her role (at 29 she was only slightly older than the character she was playing), but I felt that remark might better have been directed at Grable. A twenty-something gold digger might be amusing; a woman in her late thirties playing the same game is likely to seem either sinister or pathetic. The film also lacks the musical numbers which were one of the better features of «Gentlemen Prefer Blondes».

The script and the storyline might have seemed daring and sophisticated in the early fifties, a time when the Production Code meant that film censors were a lot more censorious than they are today. There were, however, limits to daring and sophistication. Marilyn is forced to say «Men are seldom attentive to girls who wear glasses» because the censor objected to the phrase «make passes». There are a few in-jokes; a line about «diamonds are a girl’s best friend» is a clear reference to «Gentlemen Prefer Blondes», and Schatze, referring to older men marrying younger women, says «look at old fella what’s his name in «The African Queen». (I.e. Bacall’s real-life husband Humphrey Bogart). Much of the material, however, seems dated and stale today. «How to Marry a Millionaire» may have seemed witty in 1953; today it is one of Monroe’s more forgettable vehicles. 5/10

There’s no question that there are some silly and implausible moments in «How to Marry a Millionaire», but there’s also little question that it is good fun and very enjoyable to watch. Most of the cast give good performances, and they and their characters fit together well. The situations and predicaments in which they find themselves are often farfetched, but are usually creative and amusing in themselves.

Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grable might seem like an unusual combination, but they really fit together nicely and make an entertaining trio. By not taking themselves or their characters too seriously, their performances make everything else work. Their three characters are also given enough idiosyncrasies to make each of them interesting, while not stretching things too far. Aside from William Powell’s character, the male cast members generally have easier roles, but they also perform well. Powell has a little more to do than the others, and of course he handles his role with his usual aplomb and charisma.

The combination is no artistic masterpiece, but it was not meant to be. It’s very enjoyable, and in its way it was also put together well enough.

How to Marry a Millionaire is a 1953 American romantic comedy film directed by Jean Negulesco and written and produced by Nunnally Johnson. The screenplay was based on the plays The Greeks Had a Word for It (1930) by Zoe Akins and Loco (1946) by Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert.

The film stars Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, and Lauren Bacall as three fashionable Manhattan models, along with William Powell, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, and Cameron Mitchell as their wealthy marks. Although Grable received top billing in the screen credits, Monroe’s name was listed first in all advertising, including the trailer.

Produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox, How to Marry a Millionaire was the studio’s first film to be shot in the new CinemaScope wide-screen sound process, although it was the second CinemaScope film released by Fox after the biblical epic film The Robe (also 1953). How to Marry a Millionaire was also the first color and CinemaScope film ever to be shown on prime-time network television (though panned-and-scanned), when it was presented as the first film on NBC’s Saturday Night at the Movies on September 23, 1961. [3]

The soundtrack to How to Marry a Millionaire was released on CD by Film Score Monthly on March 15, 2001.

Пособие для девушек, как окрутить миллионера. Замечательная, легкая комедия и юная, прелестная Мэрилин

Пройдемся опять по старой, доброй классике, на этот раз голливудской. Очень люблю фильмы из 50х, ретро стиль, наряды, атмосфера, и как правило, легкий, незатейливый сюжет.

Производство: США, 1953г

Жанр: романтическая комедия

Режиссер: Жан Негулеско

В главных ролях: Мэрилин Монро, Лорен Бэколл, Бетти Грэйбл, Дэвид Уэйн, Уильям Пауэлл, Рори Кэлхум, Фред Кларк, Перси Келхем.

История создания

Сюжет

Локации

В картине снялись три популярные американские актрисы. Это сегодня все помнят и почитают Мэрилин Монро. А в то время самой успешной из этой троицы была вторая блондинка Бетти Грейбл, точнее пик её славы уже позади, он пришелся на 40е, а вот, для Мэрилин 1953й год стал звёздным. По воспоминаниям очевидцев, троица актрис, исполнявших главные роли, мирно ладили на съёмочной площадке. Красивая история гласит (то ли быль, то ли легенда), что Бетти Грейбл, чей звёздный час уже прогремел давно, якобы сказала Мэрилин Монро: «Иди, получи свою порцию мёда! Я свою уже получила».

Прекрасная Мэрилин демонстрирует аккуратную, фактурную фигурку в ярком купальнике.

В фильме Монро играет очередную прелестную и глупенькую душечку, влюбляющуюся не в тех парней. Здесь она юна и миловидна, мягкую женственность подчеркивают изящные наряды. Еще нет той роковой и вызывающей сексуальности.

Шатци Пэйдж (Лорен Беккол)

Локо Бэмпси (Бэтти Грэйбл)

Актриса Бетти Грейбл была мегопопулярна в 40е годы прошлого столетия. На протяжение несколько лет являлась самой кассовой артисткой американского кинематографа. На 50 е пришелся закат ее карьеры, фильм Как выйти замуж за миллионера стал одним из последних с её участием.

Впечатления

Хороший, легкий и веселый фильмец из старого, послевоенного Голливуда. Девушки прекрасны, юны, нарядны. Подчеркнутая женственность, элегантность, кокетство, но нет чрезмерной, вызывающей сексуальности. Такая Мэрилин мне нравится больше. Она еще на рассвете своей карьеры, хотя звёздный час уже наступает. Впереди еще много ролей, мегапопулярность, клише глупенькой, сексуальной малышки, влюбленности не в тех парней, предательства, разочарования и пускания во все тяжкие. Но, этого всего она еще не знает. Здесь она молода и прекрасна. Сюжет прост и незатейлив, хотя актуален на все времена. Деньги или любовь, счастье или расчёт, что выберут наши героини, и сработает ли их чётко продуманный план-пособие по захвату сердец миллионеров?

Девчонки опять ищут ❤️ миллионеров! Заводила Шатси, дурочка Пола и секси-красотка Локо! Я влюбилась в этот фильм!

Воздушные поцелуйчики всем заглянувшим!

На Новогодних каникулах меня потянуло на ретро-фильмы. Как-то давно я уже смотрела «Как выйти замуж за миллионера». И вот решила пересмотреть. Тогда в первый раз я ничего не поняла: ни сюжетной линии, ни логики. Но в этот раз пазл сложился.
С удовольствием поделюсь с Вами впечатлением от фильма.

Конечно, в первую очередь цепляет игра актрис. Состав поистине звездный: Мэрилин Монро, Лорен Бэколл, Бетти Грэйбл.

Сюжет завязывается вокруг трёх подруг-моделей. Они мечтают найти себе богатых мужей-миллионеров. Старо как мир! Было актуально как в прошлом веке, так и сейчас)))

Только если сейчас фильмы снимают на данную тематику жестокие, реальные, на злобу дня.
То данный фильм 1953 года добрый, весёлый, это комедия.

С удовольствием познакомлю Вас с тремя героинями.

Шатси (Лорен Бэколл)

Самая серьезная и расчетливая из всех трёх подруг. Но и знает лучше остальных как отличить настоящего миллионера от обычного мужчины.

Локо (Бетти Грэйбл)

Миловидная блондиночка, которая не блещет умом, но зато умеет развести мужика на покупку продуктов в магазине, а это ли не главное?

Пола ( Мэрилин Монро)

Героиня Мэрилин подслеповата, поэтому носит очки. Вернее она их не носит, так как стесняется. Из-за этого постоянно то путает двери, то мужчин))) Даже в ресторане, отойдя в дамскую комнату, не может сразу найти нужный столик, когда возвращается обратно.

Героини хоть и мечтают выйти замуж за миллионеров, и вроде бы все для этого делают, но что-то не клеится постоянно, то кандидат оказывается уже женат, то что-то юлит. В итоге им удаётся совместить и чувства, и стремление к богатству.

Он же старый!
— Не говори ерунду. С такими деньгами старыми не бывают.

И только одна из них упорно идёт к своей цели, не обращая внимание на чувства.

Фильм несомненно учит тому, что не все продаётся и покупается, а чувства порой оказывается важнее толщины кошелька.
Прекрасный юморной фильм, конечно, на тему содержанок, но очень добрый и милый.

Я смотрела фильм два раза с большим удовольствием. Думаю, что заслуживает пятерки. Легкий, веселый и добрый фильм на праздники.

Итог

Трогательный фильм, где удачно сочетаются стремление к роскоши, гламуру и искренние чувства.
Да, девушки из кожи вон лезут, чтобы удачно устроиться в жизни, но ни одна из них не готова продать себя. Все три девушки прекрасно сложены. Однако актриса Лорен Бэколл мне совсем не приглянулась. Хотя она удачно уравновешивает излишнюю слащавость двух блондинок!

Ставлю фильму пятерку: смотрела с удовольствием и на одном дыхании.

Если же Вам нравятся фильмы на тему как выйти замуж за миллионера, но вам по душе более реалистичные и современные фильмы, советую глянуть этот, 2017 года.

Всех благодарю за внимание!
Надеюсь

Том Брукман, любящий Шатце, просит модный дом, где работают трое друзей, организовать для него шоу. Ее не победить.

Наконец, организовывается свадьба между Шаце и Джей Ди, который передумал. По этому поводу мы узнаем, что Пола вышла замуж за Фредди и Локо с Эбеном. Шатце также передумал и женится на Томе, несмотря ни на что, особенно несмотря на его финансовую скромность.

Финальная сцена в ресторане быстрого питания заканчивается на полу для троих друзей: Том показывает всем, насколько он богат. И он богат! Кроме того, он предлагает гамбургеры на 1000- долларовую купюру : сдачу оставьте себе, говорит он.
