I can't think of a more perfect "research movie" for the Pin up Plan! Not only does it feature Marilyn Monroe (a future "Pin up Plan Calendar Girl") and Betty Grable (A prior "Pin up Plan Calendar Girl") along with the lovely Lauren Bacall, but the girls' characters in the movie are models, so there is SO MUCH fashion eye candy!
The story follows three lovely models; Loco Dempsey (Betty Grable), Pola Debevoise (Marilyn Monroe) and Shatze Page (Lauren Bacall) as they hatch a plan to try and find themselves millionaire husbands. Hilarity ensues as the girls try to prevent each other from falling for (what they believe are) "poor, gas pump jockeys". In the end, the girls realize that money can't replace happiness.
I love this movie (thought truthfully, I love just about anything with Miss Monroe in it). While it may seem a bit sexist to some (it was the 1950's after all!) you need to watch it with the pre-feminist times in mind and enjoy it for the humor and the comedic timing of the wonderful actresses!
