1. A guilty pleasure at 8PM.

I have to admit that I have always liked 'How To Marry A Millionaire', silly plot, outrageous stereotypes and all.

Betty Grable in one of her last films along with Marilyn Monroe who was to become her replacement in so many roles. And topped off by a very nice surprise to see William Powell in his next to last film.

Enjoy. This one is fun.
