Before I get into this, I want to make mention “A FILM TO REMEMBER” will be a series about films that have reached a milestone anniversary since their origin in being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. The articles will contain the film’s plot outline, director, cast, a compilation of trivialities, various photos, movie trailer, critical reception and more. So, let’s start:

We are here to mark the celebration of the 65th Anniversary of Jean Negulesco’s “How to Marry a Millionaire”. Let’s take an inside look at the film:

PLOT OUTLINE:

Three New York models, set up in an exclusive apartment with a plan…tired of cheap men and a lack of money, they intend to use all their talents to trap and marry three millionaires. The trouble is that it’s not so easy to tell the rich men from the hucksters — and even when they can, is the money really worth it?
