Synopsis
How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) is Jean Negulesco's golden-age romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Three Manhattan models rent a glamorous apartment they can't afford and strike a pact: chase wealthy husbands only, no exceptions allowed.
The scheme buckles fast. Schatze (Lauren Bacall) is cool and all business, Loco (Betty Grable) is sweet and easygoing, and nearsighted Pola (Marilyn Monroe) keeps walking into walls because she refuses to wear her glasses, landing most of the lines people still quote. As the months pass, the furniture quietly disappears piece by piece, and the candidates turn out to be a broke pretender, a married charmer, and one unassuming guy nobody takes seriously. Money and love, it seems, stubbornly refuse to line up.
This was the first feature shot in CinemaScope, and the studio spared nothing on gowns or sets. It's light, sharp Hollywood fun where three icons play for comic timing rather than glamour alone. Stream How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) online on iFILM.
