Hapless New York bachelors face a triple threat when three models (Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable) pool their money to rent a posh Manhattan penthouse to use as their bachelorette launching pad for snagging themselves millionaire husbands.

But what starts out as a simple plan for economic survival turns the women into hopeless romantics. Adapted for the screen by Nunnally Johnson (THE DIRTY DOZEN, THE GRAPES OF WRATH, this was the first-ever film to be photographed in CinemaScope. DIR Jean Negulesco; SCR/PROD Nunnally Johnson, from the plays “The Greeks Had a Word for It” by Zoe Akins and “Loco” by Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert. U.S., 1953, color, 95 min. NOT RATED
