Review of How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) by Kelly H — 01 Jul 2005

Saw three movies today--Batman Begins, which I completely loved, Suspicion, which was pretty good, and How to Marry a Millionnaire, which was quite funny.

I'd been looking forward to seeing Batman Begins ever since it came out (and okay, really quite a while before that--I love the original Batman and I've seen all of them except for Batman Returns in the theater). And this one is probably my second favorite of all of them (my favorite, of course, being the original Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson). It was so good! And I love Morgan Freeman, so that was an added bonus.

I enjoyed Suspicion, too--no big surprise, because I really like Cary Grant (or at least the few Cary Grant movies I've seen). I didn't much care for the ending, though. Although I didn't see it coming, I still didn't like it.

And I saw How to Marry a Millionnaire (continuing my Lauren Bacall lovefest), which I really enjoyed. It's only the third Marilyn Monroe movie I've seen, and it's the first movie of Lauren Bacall's I've seen where she hasn't been with Humphrey Bogart. I thought it was funny and while I did see this ending coming, that didn't take away from my enjoyment.

I hope to see War of the Worlds next weekend, and I also want to continue with my classic movie watching. We'll see how it goes.
