Schatze (Lauren Bacall), Pola (Marilyn Monroe), and Loco (Betty Grable) are three models on the prowl for millionaire husbands! They shack up together in a swank apartment in New York and get busy looking. Will they be able to meet the men of their financial dreams?
This film is pure fluff, but it's still fun. It opens with an orchestra playing "Street Scene" for no reason, so you already know it's going to be over the top and very, hmm, cinematic. The leads are all beautiful, the scenarios highly unlikely, and the costumes faaaabulous. Watch it to see William Powell being suave as always, Marilyn Monroe in glasses (and trip on her own feet without them), and Betty Grable dreaming of sandwiches! No, really. This is a fun little escape of a movie, and definitely worth checking out if you're into the glamour of the 50s, or a fan of any of these three lovely ladies. Just remember: wealthy men are never old!
