But just because they are friends doesn't mean they are going to play fair with each other. Hilarity Ensues.The Greeks Had a Word for Them (also known as Three Broadway Girls) is a 1932 pre-Code comedy based on the Zoe Akins play The Greeks Had A Word For It. It was directed by Lowell Sherman and starred Joan Blondell, Madge Evans, and Ina Claire. A generation later it would be one of the inspirations for the more famous How to Marry a Millionaire.Notable for featuring one of the earliest uses of a varation on the Video Will in a movie.The movie is in the Public Domain and can be viewed online for free here.

Golddigger - All three of them really but to varying degrees with Polaire being the least venal and Jean the most.

Video Will - A Phonograph Will actually, but otherwise the trope is played completely straight (complete with a The Tape Knew You Would Say That gag). Perhaps the Ur-Example.

With Friends Like These... - It really stretches disbelief that Polaire and Schatze remain friends with Jean after the stunts she pulls.
