Known for decades mostly by its reissue title, Three Broadway Girls, this bubbly comedy from Hollywood’s racy pre-Code era follows three former showgirls who pool their limited resources to rent a luxurious apartment in New York. Their shared goal? To set themselves up by landing a rich man—by any means necessary. Starring the iconic Joan Blondell, this is one of only a few films with costumes designed by Coco Chanel.
