Three sisters agree to travel from their Kentucky chicken farm to California where one of them will marry a rich man and thereby begin a process for the other 2 to also meet with rich suitors. Loretta Young (Pam) is selected as the sister to be first in the limelight with Marjorie Weaver (Moira) to act as her maid and Pauline Moore (Elizabeth) as her secretary for the initial scam. There are 2 contenders that present themselves - Joel McRea (Smith) and David Niven (Harrington) - along with a friendly member of staff at the resort that they book into - Stuart Erwin (Mike). So, we have 3 women and 3 men. Can you guess who pairs up with who? There is also another twist that you will probably guess. Watch out for Binnie Barnes (Miriam) when she enters the film late on as she is very funny.
It's a film about gold-diggers, one of many I have come across, and it holds up well on the easy-going entertainment factor. I read a book by David Niven who stated that he lived with Loretta Young and her 2 sisters when he arrived in Hollywood and she was instrumental in getting him roles. I guess this must be an example of what he was referring to.
Binnie Barnes gets some great lines - an example - when she spots McRea at a bar and wants to chat him up: Barnes: Are you John Edwards (not the name used but I can't remember what it was) McRea: No Barnes: I didn't think so. You don't look like him.
Ha ha - great ice-breaker.
Watch out for Elisha Cook Jr in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part.
