The three "Charters" sisters are avidly awaiting the news of their inheritance from their recently deceased aunt. $5,800-odd dollars. Not enough to change anyone's life - but they hope that by putting elder sister "Pamela" (Loretta Young) forward and with sisters "Moira" (Marjorie Weaver) and "Liz" (Pauline Moore) acting as her entourage they can head to California and marry well! Their antics result in some hit and miss escapades as they alight on some gents just as bent on "gold-digging" as they are. All, that is, except for David Niven's "Harrington" who has a sort of dating double-act going with "Van Dam Smith" (Joel McCrea) and the poverty stricken "Mike" (Stuart Erwin) who'd give his last (and only) $100 to help out his gal. Can any of the girls get any of the rich guys? It's a bit too contrived and the scenarios repeat themselves a little, but we can see the beginnings of the Young/Niven rapport that went on to work well and there are a few gags that raise a smile over a quickly paced and enjoyable enough seventy-five minutes.Show less
