How To Marry A Millionaire (1953)

Nunnally Johnson wrote and produced How to Marry a Millionaire, a 1953 American romantic comedy film directed by Jean Negulesco. The script was based on Zoe Akins' play The Greeks Had a Word for It (1930) and Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert's play Loco (1946). Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, and Lauren Bacall play glamorous Manhattan models, while William Powell, David Wayne, Rory Calhoun, and Cameron Mitchell play their affluent clients. Monroe's name was put first in all promotions, including the trailer, despite Grable's top billing in the screen credits.

Monroe starred with Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable in the breezy and slightly sleazy rom-com How to Marry a Millionaire as one of a harem of stunning gold-diggers. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design! The plot revolves around a group of unmarried women who go out to marry affluent guys for the money. The girls set up an elegant apartment to entice wealthy guys, but they struggle to locate the appropriate ones. The females have fun and fall in love after letting their guard down.
