Lauren Bacall finds an apartment in New York City that she cant afford, so she calls her friends to move in and help with the rent. Of course, they STILL can't afford the rent, so one of the running gags here is how they DO pay the rent. The girls are all looking for men with some money, and watch the adventures as they go on a dating spree to find them. Bacall, Monroe, and Grable all try different tactics to find the perfect man, and when they each catch one, they have some decisions to make. David Wayne (Ellery Queen, House Calls) plays the owner of the apartment that the girls are renting, and un-wittingly becomes part of the excitement. William Powell (Nick Charles, Thin Man) has smallish part, playing a dashing, older gent. Fun, color remake of the original "The Greeks had a Word for Them" from 1932. The three lead characters even had some of the same names in the 1932 version.
