Kirk Douglas plays matchmaker to three luscious sisters in the zany romantic comedy For Love or Money co-starring Mitzi Gaynor and Gig Young.Despairing at her three daughters’ choices in men, an eccentric widow (Thelma Ritter) pays attorney Deke Gentry (Douglas) $100,000 to pair them up with pre-chosen mates. Although he easily fixes up Bonnie (Julie Newmar) and Jan (Leslie Parrish), sister Kate (Gaynor) proves to be a more troublesome match. Set up with a boozy baby food magnate (Young) who continually stands her up, Kate soon discovers who’s the better catch and decides to bag Deke instead.
