I totally get the Well It's Not Great, but Frankly It's Not That Bad. (It's a flighty, diverting entertainment with some chuckles and that period candy-coated opulence.) As the very first 'Scope picture, one can tell they are quite literally making up widescreen framing and blocking as the film progresses. But what made widescreen stay? Lang said widescreen was only good for two things: snakes and funerals. What he didn't account for was Monroe reclining across the whole Technicolor frame.

A fun comedy that had me chuckling a couple of times. The romance angles didn't feel natural but the actors were all game plus I always enjoy one of my favorite actors on screen even if William Powell had little more than a cameo.

The kind of story Billy Wilder would make a scandalous sex comedy of, or perhaps Douglas Sirk would turn into a subversive melodrama. But as it stands just a generic, by-the-Hollywood-book, terribly unfunny rom-com. Marilyn Monroe is charming, and it boasts fashionable couture delivered in ultra widescreen Technicolor, but it all amounts to little more than fluff.

Fluffy comedy of it's time, very lightweight, would like a bit more chemistry between the 3 leading ladies especially Bacall and Monroe,(Grable is a bit unnecessary.) Nothing particularly memorable.

Apparently, directing and screenwriting age as poorly as comedy does given the large number of static long-shots here that suggest the director thought his goal was to make film feel like a play; and the script is as lazy and contrived as they come. One apparently inconvenient character is tossed away completely never to return w/ only a sentence of explanation, while another accepts rejection at the altar with a sanguine wisdom and equanimity that should immediately qualify him for sainthood.

A light, forgettable comedy. None of the three women is particularly interesting nor funny, although Bacall plays her role well. Little reason is given for why Brookman falls for Bacall, especially considering her nauseating obsession with money. The film's greatest strength is that it never succumbs to melodrama, keeping the tone fresh and funny throughout. Sadly, there is nothing else impressive. And what the hell is up with the opening, which is 5 minutes of an orchestra playing?

First movie shot on CinemaScope is oddly not some big time epic (although The Robe was first to be released), but a typical 50's fluff about three gold diggers on the mission. Film opens with a (very) long shot of orchestra playing some boring tune, and somewhere along the way we get to see pointless fashion show. Talk about filler! Inferior on every aspect to very similar Gentlemen Prefer Blondes released same year, also with Marilyn Monroe.
