Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, and Betty Grable showed different versions of femininity in the classic 'How to Marry A Millionaire.'
There is a difference between a hit and a masterpiece, as shown in the success of Jean Negulesco’s 1953 film, How To Marry A Millionaire. Written by Nunnally Johnson , the feel-good flick was one of the most successful box-office hits of the year despite being little more than a fluff-fest of beautiful costumes, attractive women, and a chance to watch three actresses marinate themselves in trademark personas. But that’s okay.
If her interactions are more about sussing out property portfolios than personality, it's done with an innocence that has little to do with airs and graces. J. Stewart Merrill is the object of her attention, rocking an eyepatch and thin mustache that screams "I tie women to railway tracks." Apparently the getup isn’t enough of a giveaway for our bachelorette, and it takes a tete-a-tete with her proudly-spectacled landlord, Freddie Denmark to give her a crash course in reality.
Rounding out the trio is Ms. Bacall. Not a natural fit for comedy, but using her coolness to good effect, Betty B plays the ringleader of the group, Schatze Page. Acquiring their apartment and orchestrating a plan to nab the happily-ever-after by means of financial security, Schatze sells her furnishings and approves of suitors according to her strict criteria. The first rule in the House of Schatze is all about appearance.
