Review of How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) by Joyce T — 05 Sep 2013

This is such a great movie. Reviewers criticising the subject matter (3 NYC models attempting to snare rich husbands) miss the point of this movie completely. It is a film about love conquering all as in the end, two end up with ordinary joes and the third thinks she does but he turns out to be rich after she's married him believing him to be poor.

The acting is fabulous, the comedy well timed. Marilyn is superb, as is Bacall. It's a film of its time (50s) when a women's future was secured or ruined by whom she married. To place modern opinions on it is ignorant.
