# How to Marry a Millionaire is released as a CinemaScope Fox comedy with Monroe in the starring trio

Date: 1953

## The fact

In November 1953 Fox released How to Marry a Millionaire with [Monroe](/people/marilyn-monroe) as Pola opposite Grable and Bacall, an early CinemaScope comedy. This Fact is that public release, not Niagara and not a later Wikimedia still used as a portrait.

It is one event.

## Context

A wide-format starring comedy is a public-access performance. Typecasting of the ‘dumb blonde’ business in the same picture is a neighbouring constraint, not a reason to drop the dated release.

Marilyn Monroe’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Jean Negulesco directed; Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall share the trio. Fox’s CinemaScope launch is a studio technology event she did not invent.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

AFI filmography and Britannica independently date the 1953 CinemaScope comedy.

Official or archival record: AFI Catalog — Marilyn Monroe person record (https://catalog.afi.com/Person/129923-Marilyn-Monroe; American Film Institute).

## Significance

A nationally distributed comedy is a knowledge-and-entertainment access path. Confidence high on the release.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1953 release with Monroe in the starring trio. Not established: that CinemaScope is her industrial invention.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Marilyn Monroe.

They are not a public rating.

Marilyn Monroe did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. A CinemaScope launch is Fox’s. Her heading is the named performance. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Marilyn Monroe.
