One of the first movies filmed in glorious Cinemascope, this funny and sexy romantic comedy looks like a million dollars on Blu-ray. Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall and Betty Grable star as three gorgeous models who concoct a wild scheme to marry rich men. The girls rent a lavish Manhattan penthouse to lure wealthy bachelors, but things go uproariously awry when they actually end up falling in love! They soon discover the road to romance is filled with hilarious twists as their new suitors reveal surprises none of them saw coming.

The best-selling novel by Michael Crichton was faithfully adapted for this taut 1971 thriller, about a team of scientists racing against time to destroy a deadly alien virus that threatens to wipe out life on Earth. As usual with any Crichton-based movie, the emphasis is on an exciting clash between nature and science, beginning when virologists discover the outer-space virus in a tiny town full of corpses.
