Movie Reviews of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Movie Review: Marilyn Monroe at her best
Summary: 5 Stars

This fun piece of fluff is well worth your time for the title song alone. What a fun ride! Marilyn Monroe stars as the not-as-dumb-as-everyone-thinks blonde bombshell who has a feverish passion for diamonds. Her diamond fetish creates loads of trouble for her and friend Dorothy (Jane Russell) and loads of fun for us. If you've never seen a Monroe vehicle, let this be your first. She was a comic genious, still vastly underrated by many.

Summary of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

These glamorous showgirls have everything a girl could want - except engagement rings! In a quest for true love, Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) and her gold digger pal Dorothy (Jane Russell) set sail on a luxury-liner bound for France. But the pair hits rocky waters when a manipulative detective, an over-aged, over sexed millionaire (Charles Coburn) and the entire men's Olympic team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief. It's a wild and joyously funny ride across the Atlantic as our bathing beauties plan and plot a way to land their men.
Anita Loos's old story from the 1920s about a pair of single women in search of husbands gets a makeover in Howard Hawks's 1953 musical, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe as friends who go to Paris looking for mates. The film is charged by Hawks's stylish snap, a famous set piece or two (Monroe descending that staircase while singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"), Russell's wit, and songs by Leo Robin and Jule Styne. The film may largely be a fluff project best remembered as a showcase for its leading actresses, but then Monroe and Russell rarely got such extended opportunities to prove that they were more than cinematic icons. --Tom Keogh
