VHS Movie Reviews of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Movie Review: Fun With Marilyn and Jane
Summary: 4 Stars

Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe make a dynamite team in their only film together. "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" (1953) is a breezy musical-comedy directed with stylish verve by none other than Howard Hawks. Marilyn's sparkling rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" remains among the Great Movie Moments. Charles Coburn and the inimitable George "Foghorn" Winslow provide memorable support. This Technicolor trifle belongs in every Russell and Monroe library.

Movie Review: One of my favorites!
Summary: 5 Stars

Marilyn Monroe is the best in this film! The dumb, gold-digging blonde, who still manages to have some brains and sensibility. Together with Jane Russell, these two are quite the comedic duo.

This film is perfect for any afternoon when you need your spirit lifted. Carefree comedy and fun songs make this movie enjoyable!

And of course, it has Marilyn's most famous song: Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend!

Movie Review: Oh, Piggy!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the absolute best, without a question, best Marilyn Monroe movie. Love it!

Movie Review: A Razzle Dazzle Comedy
Summary: 4 Stars

Easily one of Marilyn Monroe's best movies! She may be a ditz but nobody does it with more style than Marilyn. The costumes are beautiful and the song numbers make the show a delight to watch!

Movie Review: wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

I was very pleased to find this DVD! It's one of my favorite movies.

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
