Review of How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) by Mark Karl H — 02 Nov 2009

The very first cinemascope comedy, so what happens is there are often 3 or four people side by side to fill the widescreen. Grable, Monroe and Bacall join forces and rent an elegant apartment in order to attract the right kind of males.

Monroe steals the film as the nearly blind model who reads book upside down and gets on the wrong plane because of her refusal to where her glasses. Its light its airey it sags a little when Monroe is offscreen but the lush colour and fabulou costumes by Travilla keep it afloat.
