Having already done a syndicated series based directly on the movie How To Marry A Millionaire, Fox's television division decided to give it another go with this slightly updated iteration of the same concept. Pamela Tiffin, Julie Newmar, and Monica Moran (the daughter of Thelma Ritter) portray Taffy Warren, Kris Meeker, and Andrea Franks, respectively -- three young, aspiring career women who are trying to get ahead professionally while leaving room for romance in their lives, as well. The idea wasn't bad, and the series is a little more attuned to the early/middle 1960s than its source material would lead one to expect -- and the trio, especially Miss Newmar, are a delight to the eye, and the humor is reasonably sophisticated for its time.
But the times and the timing were somehow against it (talk about bad luck -- Newmar recalled decades later that the show was in the process of being filmed on November 22, 1963, and when word of Kennedy's assassination got to the set, they shut everything down till the following week). And somehow, despite the presence of Tiffin and Newmar, the series never clicked with sponsors or the network, and the pilot -- a story about one of the women trying to help out an aspiring prize-fighter -- was relegated to a summer anthology show, and forgotten.
