When a newly released movie can't surprise people, they will go to the past films to discover surprises.
Recently, I randomly opened "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle Wife", which was unexpectedly "good-looking".
Overall, it's not a classic, let alone a "great movie," but it's still "good-looking" and fun.
First, and most bluntly, it brings together Lauren Whitecall, Marilyn Monroe, and Betty Grabr, three formerly dazzling Hollywood beauties, to play on the same stage, and the picture is extremely eye-catching.

Bai Kaul's bright and atmospheric, Monroe's innocence and sexiness, and Graber's charm and stubbornness make the story picture good and dazzling.
Second, this film released 69 years ago tells a theme story that has never been erased from ancient times to the present. Some people from humble backgrounds are eager to achieve a class jump through shortcuts, but eventually give up the opportunity at hand for the sake of true feelings. Although the storyline is not tacky and stereotyped from the current point of view, 69 years ago, it was very much in line with the American society at that time, steel, oil and other industrial-driven wealth-making movements and a series of social phenomena.
In the film, the three beauties are all from humble origins, but they are beautiful, and they are all clothing display models of a high-end department store. Although the commonality of the three beauties is the setting of drilling camp and worshipping gold, the three have their own unique charms: Bai Kaul plays a calm, quick-headed "brain worshiping woman" who hopes to achieve a reversal of life through marriage (second marriage); Monroe plays a simple, cute and inferior "pure love gold worship girl" because of high myopia; Graber plays a straight-talking, everyday and confused "foodie gold worshipper".
Third, the storytelling logic is very neat, the plot advancement rhythm is skillful, and it intuitively reflects the standardized storytelling skills that Hollywood has long formed. The three side story is perfectly integrated into the smooth progress of the main line story, and enriches the plot of the main line story in a surprising and interesting way, enriches the characters of the three heroines, and expands the depth of the main line story.
Finally, it's a good comedy with a "serious book" and a lot of jokes. Whether it is the dreams of the three girls after they have completed their plans to marry a millionaire, or the stubbornness of Cobair trying to marry into the rich, Monroe's myopia, Graber's measles... While showing their worship of gold and material, it also shows their cute and shiny inner.
Yes, they are just gold-worshiping girls who do not hide their "childish ambitions", with major shortcomings at a glance, but they are also real and simple enough to be cute. The most excessive thing they did was to share a high-end apartment, and then secretly sell the landlord's various furniture to pay for their capital to "arm themselves" in and out of the high-end places to lure the golden turtle son-in-law.
Although the ending of the story is too perfect to be too false, the three heroines are not only married to love, but also married to the real golden turtle son-in-law, but the wit of the whole story is that in the process of advancement, let the audience follow the three protagonists to discover their inner true selves, and make choices against ambitions and desires.
This process not only adds charm to the characters, but also gives the audience space and room to think. Compared with the joy and entertainment value of the whole film, this inspiration also makes the value of the film far more than a simple brainless love popcorn movie.
