How to Marry a Millionare


"How to Marry a Millionaire" released in 1953, is about Schatze Page (Lauren Bacall), Loco Dempsey (Betty Grable), and Pola Debevoise (Marilyn Monroe); three young models looking to strike it rich by marrying rich men of course. They rent a nice apartment and sell all the furniture for money to keep the apartment and the charade that they are indeed rich themselves. For the first few months they have no such luck finding men until one comes along who introduces them to many more. The girls all meet guys but can they really only marry a man for money and not for love? Or perhaps they can find both?

Breakfast at Tiffany's




Tonight I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time. It was not what I expected but I did not really know what to expect. The movie was about a girl in New York named Holly Golightly who is in search of wealth. A new neighbor moves into her apartment building and he is awestruck, love at first sight for this girl. She's extraordinary, she's different, not like any girl he's ever met. He quickly falls for her but then discovers she has been married before and she is not who she claims to be. 

It was a "darling" movie and now I see what the big deal was about it. I recommend it to anyone looking to watch a love story of a glamour girl in search of wealth and love, more so wealth.
