Movie from 1953 with three of the most famous leading ladies of the era as the main characters: LaurenBacall, MarilynMonroe and BettyGrable.
Three women rent an expensive apartment to appear rich. Their plan is to each marry a millionaire. To be able to afford the rent, they keep selling the furniture.
Things become complicated when love starts to interfere with their plans.
Partially inspired by the much earlier ''TheGreeksHadAWordForThem''.
