Customer Reviews of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Pure Marilyn, pure light-hearted fun. Arguably, along with the 'Seven Year Itch', this lighthearted 50's musical comedy is the most definitive 'Marilyn' film. In particular for her memorable 'Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend' number, so adorable in its (and her)innocent mocking self parody and brought to life again several decades later in Madonna's, 80's' Material Girl' Video. <
>This pairing of 'Monroe' and 'Russell' as two voluptuous show girls from 'Little Rock'" in search of fun and a man or two on their way to Paris aboard a cruise ship, is pure Hollywood sugar coated entertainment and escapism. <
>Marilyne is just so funny and cute as the wide eyed, but gold digging, 'Lorelei', the supposed 'Dumb Blonde' who knows what she wants however, and why. In suitable contrast Jane Russell plays 'Dorothy' the more serious, switched on and streetwise Brunette. Who on the other hand, lets her heart(rather than her bank acccount)rule her head when it comes to men and plays a kind of big sister role to her more naive, but materialistic focused compatriot. <
>Though it may be said that for the most part 'Russell' is somewhat eclipsed by the 'platinum' ultra luminous presence of the 'eternal woman-child' Ms Monroe. She undoubtedly brings a lot of energy to the role, and the camaraderie and chemistry they deliver as a pair contribute much to the films charm and success. <
>There are several very entertaining 'showgirl' type musical numbers throughout. But I confess I enjoy Marilyn's ditzy remarks, balanced by a her cunningly disguised 'knowingness' the most. Sooo cute when she refers to the ship's portals as 'round windows' and innocently tries on a diamond tiara around her neck. Then, at the end justifies and explains her money driven ways to her finance's contemtuous Father,in the most surprisingly clever way. Pure 'Marilyn' in all her pure, unique celluloid magic! <

Marilyn shines like a diamond. She's a full star and full of life.
This movie GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES , is so enjoyable, it never
<
>let's you down. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell make a perfect
<
>combination. The scene where they take off the pants of Malone
<
>is hilarious. What I really enjoyed most is Marilyn reciting her
<
>poem, which goes like this:
<
> I once knew a man called Sidney,
<
> Who drank 'til he ruined a kidney,
<
> he drank and he drank,
<
> and it shrank and it shrank,
<
> he had his fun doing it,
<
> now didnt't he?
<
>
<
>The Diamonds are a girl's best friend number with Marilyn is pure
<
>glamour. One can not stop looking at her. Her beauty is unique.
<
>I hope that one day they will release a soundtrack CD of this
<
>movie with all the music, including the instrumental music. And
<
>please include Marilyn's poem "I once knew a man called Sidney.."
<
>Her singing is most enjoyable. And to Jayne Russell, to quote
<
>from the movie, " Dorothy, you were also good. - Thanks Gus, said
<
>Dorothy ( Jane Russell)". Enjoy it.

Marilyn Monroe Fans!
This is one of the most charming movies starring Marilyn, and her portrayal of Lorelei Lee is the dumb blonde archetype for all the ages. Madonna's wanna-be Marilyn in the similar dress from her video "Material Girl" was a wonderful homage to pay to the original Marilyn. With songs like "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," and "Little Rock," and a terrific supporting performance by Jane Russell, this is one of my all-time faves!
