Product Description
From 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

1.0 out of 5 stars
very, very disappointing and a lousy copy,
By 9009983@surfer.uni-wuppertal.de (wuppertal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Marry a Millionaire (VHS Tape)
what a shame for twentieth century fox! film historically seen this movie was the second made in cinemascope and also done with stereo sound! But there is nothing of it on the tape! Mono-sounded and only 50 % of the original picture. And often enough the picture was anamorphically pressed, specially in the beginning, when Alfred Newman conducted the Twentieth Century-Fox orchestra, only to get the entire orchestra on the 50% TV picture they have "pressed" the original 100% film picture to fit the TV screen- what a disturbing effect! No star at all for such a film-video transfer. What a pitty that you can' t get a laserdisc copy which was available in the correct format 1:2.66 and in the wonderful stereo sound. 20th Century Fox has to do something about that poor quality when considering a "Marilyn Monroe Collection" on DVD!

This review is from: How to Marry a Millionaire (Widescreen) (DVD)
Just received my latest dvd order from Amazon today. How to Marry a Millionaire was one of the movies. My wife and I watched it this evening and it is an outstanding transfer. Both crisp and clear with vibrant colours and many beautiful scenes of New York in the 50's. Looks great on my widescreen TV. This is one of those rare movies that you can enjoy viewing on a regular basis. Excellent acting with lots of laughs.

"How To Marry A Millionaire",
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Marry a Millionaire (Widescreen) (DVD)
"How To Marry A Millionaire" is a comedy story of 3 girls living in a penthouse searching for meeting and marrying wealthy millionaires.The movie is alot of fun.And if you want to know "How To Marry A Millionaire" and if they do marry millionaires with their schemes then you will enjoy this movie.The movie is Marilyn's best movie.The movie was very popular that there was a syndicated TV version of the same name "How To Marry A Millionaire" starring Barbara Eden in the Marilyn role,Merry Anders in the Bacall role,Lori Nelson (1st 39 episodes) in the Grable role and Lisa Gaye (in episodes 40 thru 52) in the Grable role.
