The trouble is that it's not so easy to tell the rich men from the hucksters. Recent divorcee Schatze meets real-estate mogul Tom, but thinks he looks like a gas station attendant. Loco gets involved with a married man, but falls for forest ranger Eben. Blind as a bat Pola refuses to wear her glasses, and thus winds up on the wrong plane, but meets Freddie--who actually owns the penthouse they're renting! So which is better: to marry for love or money?

Add a CommentThis contrived and completely unfunny 1950s comedy about 3 NYC fashion models conniving and gold-digging was one of the worst Chick Flicks that I've seen in a long time._____ Put plain and simple, this film's storyline stank. Being neither cute nor coy, it would have been bad enough having to endure one calculating minx plotting to snag herself a millionaire husband, but this nonsense multiplied by 3 was in such bad taste that it made the film almost unbearable to sit through._____ With one limp joke and stupid situation after another, this film was so desperate to generate some much-needed laughs (to mask the story's god-awful treachery) that it had Marilyn Monroe's near-sighted character (who refused to wear her glasses in public) walk into walls. This tired bit of slapstick comedy quickly wore out its novelty after being used just once too often._____ Lauren Bacall's character, as the castrating witch behind the whole "let's marry millionaires" scheme, was absolutely hideous.
Bad disc..."Error" on my DVD machine.
