Title: Wonderful
Review: 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.

Title: Hot movie and hot babe. Check it out.
Review: 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!

Title: HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE {BLU-RAY}
Review: 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.

Title: The first movie shot in CinemaScope!
Review: 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!

Title: Not full Cineascope
Review: This review is for the film and then for the blue-ray disc. The film itself is a classic comedy. Marilyn Monroe is truly amazing as a first-class comedienne, with both dialogue as well as physical comedy.. Each of the three actresses have their own small bit that references their real lives, which brings on a laugh or two. Betty Grable thinks she hears Harry James (her real life husband) on the radio. Lauren Bacall talks about “that guy in ‘African Queen'” (refering to her real life husband Humphrey Bogart). And while in a fashion show, Marilyn Monroe is seen in a bathing suit with accents of diamonds, which the commentor makes reference to by saying “we all know ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend'” (of course bringing to mind Marilyn’s big break-out film, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”). The supporting male performers hold their own very well, especially William Powell and, in a smaller but very funny role, Fred Clark. My one complaint is with the blue-ray disc, not the film itself. The true scope of the film is not shown, There are a few scenes where the sides of the frame are noticeably “squeezed in”. It’s like the 255:1 ratio (stated on the packaging) was crammed into a 235:1 frame. Why do that? If you’re going to release a film in high quality blue-ray, then do so with it’s true full scope. Because of that flaw the disc gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Title: “How to Marry a Millionaire” restored
Review: 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

Title: Subtitle overload
Review: 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.

Review: Parmi les films dont la Fox a voulu exploiter la célébrité de Marilyn Monroe, celui-ci en est un bon exemple. Après la comédie musicale qui a propulsé Marilyn au rang de superstar, Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes en 1953, les producteurs ont saisi l’occasion illico presto de miser sur sa popularité en sortant une comédie avec l’autre bombe platine maison de la décade précédente, Betty Grable et la très distinguée Lauren Bacall qui fera plus tard une excellente Femme Modèle (1957) de Vincente Minelli.Evidemment l’histoire d’un jeune mannequin, Bacall, pour laquelle les scénaristes se sont creusé la tête pour récupérer l’argument de sa présence dans le film, du fait de son ancien métier de modèle, qui part avec deux amies aussi sottes que blondes à la chasse au millionnaire n’est pas très palpitante.Cette comédie, peu flatteuse pour Marilyn dans un rôle limité à des apparitions et à des dialogues trop brefs, comme si sans ses numéros musicaux on ne pouvait attendre d’elle qu’ une présence charnelle, n’est certes pas son meilleur atout d’actrice.Loin de l’expérience de Marilyn, je trouve cependant un certain charme à cette comédie au format bien retrouvé en DVD (la VHS avait un panorama trop grand qui “écrasait” les personnages) grâce à ce parfum de femmes libres et déterminées qui finalement se révèlent plus simples que leurs ambitions surtout Lauren Bacall, la meneuse du jeu constamment en quête d’un porte-monnaie masculin voulant se débarrasser de son passé amoureux qu’elle trimbale honteusement.Le bonheur ne s’arrête pas là puisqu’à défaut d’un grand rôle pour Marilyn on s’amuse de situations cocasses dans un style très fifties avec des réparties qui font sourire encore davantage dans la version originale sous-titrée remarquablement restaurée, aux couleurs superbes.Ajoutons à cela du vrai glamour avec un défilé de mode délicieux et une débauche de vêtements magnifiques justement couronné par l’oscar du meilleur costume (dans un film en couleur) et la midinette qui sommeille en moi n’aura pas honte de visionner cette petite fraîcheur acidulée qu’est ce film .
