HOW TO MARRY was actually the first feature shot in CinemaScope by 20th Century Fox, but it was released after THE ROBE in 1953. Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall learn the price of true love in this hilariously mercenary musical comedy, scripted and produced by Nunnally Johnson. Watch for mild-mannered boyfriend David Wayne (who made four films with Monroe, more than any other actor), and listen for the sparkling score arranged by Alfred Newman.

Nick and Nora (William Powell and Myrna Loy) return to San Francisco, where familial obligations thrust them headlong into an investigation of love and ambition gone murderously wrong. With characteristic smarts and sass, the two chase mystery and murders from drawing room to nightclub to boarding house. James Stewart joins the cast in a pivotal role.

A cavalcade of MGM stars populates this musical omnibus, with highlights from Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, William Powell, Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, and many others. A must-see for fans of classic Hollywood.
