"I just love finding new places to wear diamonds."- Lorelei

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks, 1953) is a great comedy musical most famous for the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" which Marilyn Monroe has become known for (along with the skirt blowing scene in The Seven Year Itch). Marilyn plays the dumb blonde, which became her look of the 50's. The storyline touches on male and females look at love, beauty and money. With the two leads taking on different characters who look at love and marriage in two different ways. Jane Russell's down to earth character contrasts cleverly with Marilyn's dumb blonde making the comedy interesting. The songs the girls sing, "Diamond's Are A Girl's Best Friend" and "Ain't There Anyone Here For Love" strengthen their differences. The songs, costumes, dances and comedic instances make it a great film and musical from Hollywood's golden age of musicals of the 1950's. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a great musical to watch for the performances by Marilyn and Jane Russell, the fun songs and costumes and the comedic script. All in all it is an enjoyable broadway musical.
