Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall headline this Fox classic that was the very first film ever shot in CinemaScope (though not first released). Based on a play written by Zoë Akins (who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1935) and another play co-written by Katharine Albert. Enjoy this romantic comedy as part of our Afternoon Classics series centering on musicals and comedies written by or based on works of women writers.
