Three strong leading ladies in good comedy
7 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Recap: Three young, single and beautiful girls with no more than a dollar between them rent a luxurious penthouse in New York with the single goal to find rich husbands for them all. But to find single and rich men is easier said than done, and the girls find that not all men is what they see. And those emotions that keep popping up is just annoying…

Comments: A rather funny comedy with three famous and strong leading ladies. The idea for the story is great and works well, even now more than 50 years later. It is a comedy first and foremost but also contains a not so subtle element about that money can't buy happiness or love. It got a lot of jokes but the best one is the running joke about Monroe's character Pola, who is blind as a bat and refuses to wear her glasses because she is afraid they will scare away a potential suitor. This leads to Pola following complete strangers instead of her date, or walking into walls.

It is not hilarious, but is entertaining enough to watch. Another reason to watch it is the three leading ladies, each and one of them famous in their own right, but managing to act well together.
