What happens when a bachelor plays Matchmaker . . . for 3 luscious sisters !!!
| Wealthy Chloe Brasher has three beautiful daughters; Bonnie, Kate, and Jan. Chloe pays attorney Deke Gentry to fix them up with three suitable husbands. I was once again wandering through Youtube, bored, looking for something to watch but didn't know what exactly. I stumbled across For Love Or Money, it looked like fun so I gave it a shot. It turned out to be one of those fluffy, wonderful, 1960's romantic comedies that are so much fun to watch. I really could have seen Doris Day in the role of Kate, though Mitzi Gaynor did a great job. I think Thelma Ritter was my favorite in this movie. She plays a conniving, manipulating, sneaky, mother who knows all the angles. She loves her daughters and is bound and determined to get them happily married off, no matter what their preferences or opinions are. Thelma Ritter is just hilarious in whatever role she plays and this is no exception. A cute romantic comedy for grownups of all ages with lots of zingers, misunderstandings, and sneaky goings-on. The costumes are dated but are fun to watch for those that remember the era and those that wish they did. Great for an evening of laughter and not thinking too hard.  108 Minutes | Primary Cast Kirk Douglas...Deke Gentry Mitzi Gaynor...Kate Brasher Gig Young...Sonny Smith Thelma Ritter...Chloe Brasher Julie Newmar...Bonnie Brasher William Bendix...Joe Fogel Leslie Parrish...Jan Brasher Dick Sargent...Harvey Wofford (as Richard Sargent) William Windom...Sam Travis Quotes Chloe Brasher: Look at him. [A portrait of her late husband] Chloe Brasher: The typical American father: kind, generous, patient, understanding. And as a result his daughters are typical American kids - spoiled rotten. Chloe Brasher: Alright, dimples, what do you think I'm made of, money? Donald Kenneth 'Deke' Gentry: Yes. Chloe Brasher: That's true, but it's my money, not yours. Kate Brasher: You know, um, this is the most carefully though out bachelor apartment I've seen. Donald Kenneth 'Deke' Gentry: Have you been entertained by bachelors often? Kate Brasher: Well, not really entertained. Let's say, uh, amused. Chloe Brasher: Do you realize that this is the first time you ever cried to me? It makes me very happy. |
