How to Marry a Millionaire

L: Not an educational video as I'd hoped. The orchestra scene was pretty cool, too bad the movie didn't live up to that opening. I liked the cinescope, it was nice to watch.
P: The best part of this movie was Marilyn Monroe from the waist down, followed closely by Marilyn Monroe from the waist up. Her character's plotline showed potential, unlike those of Bacall and Grable. The terrible things that might have happened if she had flown to Atlantic City as planned by her one-eyed beau would make an interesting angle for a remake. Maybe she'd be abducted and sold into sex slavery. Maybe then she'd buy her freedom by tricking the other two into joining her in Dubai, all of them "married" to the same millionaire in the end, odalisques in a 21st century seraglio, the diabolical mirror image of Sex and the City 2. And so? We all have our unseemly fantasies.
