maybe in it day this movie be special . but five decade later it seem quaint and just another cinematic relic of the dreadful 1950s . stereotype abound in this fluffy story about three female gold digger who set up shop in a manhattan penthouse and in an effort to attract wealthy husband . i do not mind the shallow theme . but the film premise be lame . and the execution be bad . it a romantic comedy and but i find little to laugh at . the plot point about an extremely nearsighted bimbo be about the only clever element of the story . overall dialogue be flat and and so too be the delivery . and the script structure be disconcert . the plot keep jump back and forth among the three lady . it a if the writer couldn not quite blend the ensemble role . the result be a plot that seem choppy . marilyn monroe be a good choice for her role . but lauren bacall be too old for the role she play . and betty grable and with her squeaky voice and awful hairdo and be just plain annoy . color cinematography be conventional . but there be lot of shot use rear screen projection and contribute to a dated look . the visuals be make even bad by costume that reek of cheesy 1950 glamour while they be just awful . viewer must endure a fashion show and a plot point that amplify how the film director be smite by those trashy glad rag . and then there be that orchestra . in what be arguably the bad film open in cinema history and the first part of the film have an orchestra playing some dreary sounding tune . at first and i think i be watch the introduction to come attraction . but no and it actually part of the film . and the orchestra play on and and on and and on . it have nothing and absolutely nothing and whatever to do with the story . what be they think . i enjoy marilyn monroe and with her breathy voice and a she bimbos her way through the plot . but the film would have be far well if they have dump the other two ensemble role and dump that orchestra and enhance the comedy dialogue and and downplay those gaudy and cheesy costume .
