How To Marry A Millionaire

This film, remade several times and turned into a short-lived television series starring Barbara Eden, is truly a wonderful film. Monroe, although she didn't want to wear the glasses required for the part, gives a wonderful performance as Pola, who, without her glasses, can't see her own hand in front of her face. Monroe really proves her comic talent in this film.Bacall plays Schatzie, the brains behind the gold-digger plot. She is a first in her first major comedy. In fact, with this film, she opened up a whole new career for herself.Grable, in her first non-musical role in years, plays, Loco, who brings the men back to the Sutton House penthouse. Although she had few comic lines, she played those she did receive to perfection. It was the last movie she made under contract with Twentieth Century Fox after a long starring career beginning in 1940. In fact, she only made two more films after this one.Monroe, who was being groomed to take Grable's position as top glamour girl of the Twentieth Century Fox lot, was purposely teamed up with Grable in hopes of fireworks between the two, which would boost tickey sales. Studio bosses were foiled, however, when the two hit it off immediately and became fast friends who visited each other often and always had a kind word to say about the other.All in all, a very enjoyable movie to be watched over and over again.

I have only seen this movie on a 16mm film chain or video tape. This fabulous 5.1 blue ray is amazing. Its justlike it must have been in a premium movie theater in 1955 with a magnetic print. Don't even think aboutit, STOP NOW AND ORDER IT! You will love this. Even your strange teenagers will appreciate the productionvalues. This was the first CinemaScope film in the can in 1953, but Fox wanted "The Robe" released first asa prestige picture. This poor woman had such talent and beauty. But wait! That's not all. If you order yourcopy RIGHT NOW, you will have this as an heirloom to leave to your rotten kids in fifty years. There are onlya few copies available. One of them is for you. Just do it!

This is a pretty good movie with three lovely ladies. This was filmed in Technicolor & Cinemascope. Also it is in the 2:55:1 Aspect Ratio which I'm glad to see rather than the traditional 1:85:1. This way you see more of the movie. I like that. I'm tired of all the chopped up movies. The color is rather nice as it is in Technicolor. Nothing better than this. The Blu-Ray is quite nice if I may say so, especially the outdoor scenes I thought. You only get Featurettes for Special Features. Kinda of chinzy if you ask me. Overall I am happy I got this movie. It is definitely better than the dvd. I had no problems with the audio either, although I listen with external speakers through an old stereo system. No Digital.

I confess I didn't buy this for the movie itself. My mother, who was very young at the time, played in the 20th Century Fox orchestra. I love watching her during the "Street Scene" by Alfred Neuman. Others might find that part boring. For me, it's the highlight.

I adore Lauren Bacall and have been a long time fan of Marilyn Monroe. I have seen all of her films and was looking forward to owning this one. There was nothing to say the DVD had obnoxious Korean subtitles throughout the entire film. Really distracting to the point I'll donate the dvd to a book store. Disappointing enough to lose a star.I did enjoy the movie and will probably order it again through a different source. ALSO be prepared to listen to 5 minutes of orchestra music before the credits to the movie begin. I fast forwarded through it.

For movie buffs, historians, teachers or plain film lovers, How To Marry A Millionaire on Blu-Ray is imperative, as part of any serious collection. It is a welcome release, which gives us all an opportunity to analyse and study earlier scope cinematography. I myself wrote an article about this for the Webinsider site. While not an expert, it is relatively easy to put this picture into historical perspective and importance.The film itself is quite pleasant, by the way, a light comedy with hints of social critic. It opens with a delightful orchestral overture, a demo for stereo sounds behind the CinemaScope screen. It is also a reminder why we were involved in this hobby in the first place.Highly recommended!

Finally a top quality version of the early Cineascope film, and my favorie Marilyn Monroe film. Back in those days the filmakers used the whole wide screen image, and this film suffered from many TV showing that were pan & scan, with only one or two of the stars on the screen at a time. Blu-Ray is causing many of these films to be reissued in wide screen close to the original format, if not dead on. Some problems with the image due to the state of the art at that time, but it is a fine version, and very enjoyable. Lauren Bacall & Betty Grable in the fine cast all do a great job

I love this movie .., but NOT the subtitles. Hope you speak Korean because you cannot turn off of change the subtitle selection. The option is there but it just does not register the change. Ruins the enjoyment of the movie. Not worth the money or annoyance.

Fun great classic movie to watch, love it every time I watch it.

DVD CONFORME À LA DESCRIPTION. PARFAIT !
