Terminal scribe Sacha Gervasi has been hired to write the script, and will have the job of contemporizing the original movie to fit modern views on feminism. ... Full Review

Her sense of vanity, which precludes her from wearing eyeglasses in public, accounts for some of the movie's funniest scenes....Mired with a hackneyed and predictable plot, the film ends with a twist;....Perhaps not a classic film in the truest sense, How to Marry a Millionaire provides an enjoyable escapist experience.....Some of the charm of this frivolous remake of the 1933 film, The Greeks Had a Word for Them lies is in the ongoing synergy among Bacall, Grable and Monroe..... ...
