For Li Lihua (1924-2017) and Xia Meng (1933-2016), the meaning of 1953 is so different: Xia Meng has played the female lead in three consecutive works by director Li Pingqian (1902-1984), "Doors" (1953), "Daydream" (1953) and "Absolute Beauty" (1953), while Li Lihua has played the female lead role in Wang Yin's (1911-1988) "Biyuntian" (1953), "Love on A Midsummer Night" (1953) and Tu Guangqi (1953) directed by Wang Yin (1911-1988) 1914-1980) directed the role of the female lead in Xiao Fengxian (1953) and Qiu Jin (1953), which means that the replacement of old and new actresses in Hong Kong has begun.

This year's Hollywood fully established Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) as the new goddess of American cinema, including "The Flying Waterfall Rage Niagara" (1953), "Gentleman Loves Beauty/Gentleman Loves Blonde Goldlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953) and "Willing to Marry a Millionaire/ How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953). All three films were released nationwide, and "Eros" Rita Hayworth (1918-1987) did not stop Marilyn Monroe's momentum, and the only surprises that Surprised Hollywood were Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), Roman Holiday Roman Holiday (Roman Holiday) (1929-1993), "Roman Holiday" (Roman Holiday) 1953) gave Hollywood a glimpse of "another kind of beauty."

In 1953, Marilyn Monroe once spoke to the New York Times and mentioned that director John Huston (1906-1987) had told her that she could "be a very good actress, an actress in serious films." My acting director, Ms. Natasha Lytess, has also said that I have a great soul, but so far no one has ever been interested in it. ”
That hasn't changed. Twentieth Century Fox still let Marilyn Monroe play sexy women on the screen, in order to attract a large number of male audiences to the theater.

The Golden Turtle Was a screenplay adapted by screenwriter Nunnally Johnson (1897-1977) based on the content of The Greeks Had a Word for Them (1932) and Three Phoenix Three Phoenix Three Three Wise Girls (1936).
Jean Nicolasco Jean Negulesco (1900-1993) was designated by the company as the director of "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle", and at that time, the company used the form of three heroines for insurance, which was also the only film in which Marilyn Monroe was not based on the heroine after her fame.

The other two in the film were also very promising, Lauren Bacall (1924-2014) was idle at home, and Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) "opened the way" in Hollywood for his wife Lauren Bacall by bundling himself to make films.
"Movie Queen" Betty Grable (1916-1973) was named one of america's top 10 high-grossing stars for 10 consecutive years from 1942 to 1951. Twentieth Century Fox also invested a million dollars in insurance for her fleshy legs at Lloyd's insurance company in London.

The three heroines of "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle Wife——— Paula (played by Marilyn Monroe), Rocco (played by Betty Grabel) and Shatz (played by Lauren Bacall) are the three female models. All three of them had originally planned to marry Young Master Kuo.
But in the end, all three were captured by love, gave up their original intentions, and married someone who truly loved them. And one of the three husbands is a millionaire.

Lauren Bacall, who plays Shatz, has always been a female star full of intellectual beauty, cold and full of mystery, I can't imagine that her performance this time did make many people a little surprised, the most impressive thing is that in the movie, in order to hang a rich old man, she actually said that she was 40 years old without changing her face, is this really a comedy?
Another Betty Grambao, who plays Rocco, interprets her relationship in the play very joyfully, and who would have thought that her crush's so-called possession of a mountain would have been just the administrator of a mountain?

It's a light comedy, and the three female protagonists are all very well-known Hollywood movie stars. They actually got along very well during the filming of the play, forming a charismatic trio.
Lauren Bacall was generous and considerate, Betty Glabel was lively and affinity, and Marilyn Monroe was a studious but somewhat shy student.
Although, at that time, Hollywood's gossip columns all called the filming of this film the "Battle of the Century", thinking that the studio would become a large-scale "tearing" scene, and the result was "nothing".
Although she has become a star, Marilyn Monroe still feels a lack of self-confidence from time to time, and a feeling of insecurity hits her heart from time to time, making her performance out of control, and this situation has not changed with the establishment of her star status.
For quite some time, Marilyn Monroe was on set and couldn't leave her private performance to direct Ms. Natasha Ledise. In the studio, her eyes are constantly on Natasha Ledes to seek her opinion.
Director Jean Nicholasko, fearing that Marilyn Monroe would be distracted, asked Natasha Ledise to go outside the studio.

As a result, Marilyn Monroe was so nervous that she couldn't make a scene at all. Director Jean Nicholasco had to bring Natasha Ledise back.
Once Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) came to visit with her own private show director, Mira Rosetower, and an interesting side appeared on set – he and Marilyn Monroe, Natasha Ledes and Mira Rosetova all chatted happily, while Lauren Bacall and Betty Greblo were "hung" on the side.
At the beginning of the filming of "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle Wife", Marilyn Monroe was always unable to enter the state. Once, in a set of shots of her answering the phone in bed for breakfast, Marilyn Monroe was in a state of severe loss of control and uneasiness.
During the performance, before the phone rang, she picked up the handset; before the coffee had been poured into the cup, she picked up the cup and drank it; there was a shot of her talking to Lauren Bacall, but she was always unable to concentrate, just staring at Lauren Bacall's forehead instead of her eyes... A simple set of shots took an afternoon to complete.
As Marilyn Monroe's partner, Betty Graebel is a veteran Star of Fox Pictures, 10 years older than Marilyn Monroe.
In the face of the wonderful performance of the new star, she did not show any jealousy or resentment, but was quite protective of Marilyn Monroe. Because she knew she was going to get farther and farther away from the movie.

Lauren Bacall, in her memoirs, has this recollection of Marilyn Monroe:
Marilyn Monroe came to make films, always with her "acting director" ——— her personal drama teacher. And she was always late. Whenever a set of shots is taken, she looks at her eyes to see if she is satisfied. If she shakes her head, we have to retake it, sometimes even a dozen times. I don't complain about Marilyn Monroe in the slightest, because I think that even if she did, she would be heartless and malicious.
But that meant I had to shoot all the scenes because no one knew which one would be used. However that doesn't stop me from liking Marilyn Monroe. She wasn't mean at all, not vicious at all. She just needs to focus on herself and focus on those who belong only to her.
As actors, Lauren Bacall and Betty Grebel are well aware of Marilyn Monroe's desire to improve her acting skills and get rid of the confinement of "Blonde" and "Sexy Goddess".
"Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle" is just a pleasant movie, it will never over-test the patience of the audience, it is a very interesting journey, everyone will watch it "will smile", because at the end of the story it finally brings a pleasant reward to the audience.
One day, during filming, Marilyn Monroe walked into the office of director Jean Nicholasco with a worried face and asked him a series of questions: "How to shape the character?" "How do you portray the character of a character?" "How do you express the motivation of a character's actions?" Wait a minute.

Jean Nicholasco was so surprised by this that he said to Marilyn Monroe, "Don't show off your sexiness in the film, because you are the symbol of sexiness." But what you need in the film is facts, like bats without eyes. Marilyn Monroe carefully understood the meaning of director Jean Nicholasco, and finally regained her confidence and entered the role.
Director Jean Nicholasko said afterwards: "Eventually I became adored of her because she was a simple child who god gave her 'something'", "We didn't know if she was good or bad, but when we finished the film, a person appeared on the screen, and this person was the great actress Marilyn Monroe!" Screenwriter Nunary Johnson agreed with the director's assessment.

The success of "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle" has had an impact in many ways. The Cinema Scope, developed by Twentieth Century Fox, officially took stage, ushering in a new era of widescreen entertainment.
Lauren Bacall proved through this film that she could indeed perform comedy with ease after starring in a series of film noirs, which opened up a whole new path in her illustrious career, making her demand for comedy on stage and on screen no less than the need for drama.
Betty Graeber was 36 years old at the time, and as the long-time film queen of Twentieth Century Fox, it was also a decent choice for her to be able to leave the big screen with such a masterpiece at the end of her long career. Betty Graham left Hollywood completely in 1955.
Critics also commented on the film as a complete triumph of "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle", especially Marilyn Monroe's show of a pleasing comedic talent, she played a highly myopic cute girl, dating a rich gentleman, afraid of being labeled as old-fashioned, unwilling to wear glasses, the result is constantly in a situation, creating a lot of jokes, but also proved that she is not only a simple-minded sexy goddess.
