A discussion of the themes raised in one of Marilyn Monroe’s most celebrated films.

  • Total running time 60min

Witty, smart, and glamorous, How to Marry a Millionaire pokes fun at the American Dream as battle lines are drawn between love and money as a reason to marry. Our regular film philosophers, Lucy Bolton, Ben Tyrer and Catherine Wheatley, will test the film’s moral compass, consumerist fantasy and gender politics, and consider the value system that the film promotes.
