How to Marry a Millionaire Movie Review 1953

Three models pool their money and rent a lavish apartment in a campaign to trap millionaire husbands. Clever performances by three lead women salvage a vehicle intended primarily to bolster Monroe's career. The opening street scene, with the accompanying theme music, was a state-of-the-art achievement of screen and sound in the one of the first movies to be filmed in CinemaScope ("The Robe" was the first). Remake of "The Greeks Had a Word for Them."
