“How to Marry a Millionaire” (1953) is a delightful romantic comedy that shows Marilyn Monroe in a more elegant and subtle light.
Alongside Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable, she plays one of three women who set out to marry rich men—but end up learning that love matters more than money.

Marilyn’s character, Pola Debevoise, is a charming, sweet, and visually impaired model who refuses to wear her glasses in front of men, which leads to several funny moments.
The film is fun, family-friendly, and showcases Marilyn’s comedic timing and lovable nature—without relying on provocative scenes.
It’s one of her classiest and most charming roles.
