The life of Lorelei Lee, a young beautiful middle class show girl, who has an ordinary life and in love with Gus Esmond, a young handsome and wealthy guy, who has engaged to her and prepares for marrying her, has been changed completely, when his father refuses this marriage, as he thinks the girl only seeks money and does not love his son.

There is not one single moment when these characters, or this rightful classic, wear out their welcome.

If there's a single film that could shatter Laura Mulvey's theory of the "male gaze" it's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell melt the screen as the two little girls from Little Rock seeking Mr Right (or at least Mr Right(TM)s bank account). It(TM)s enjoyable, escapist fluff, with a killer finale.
August 01, 2012
An unusually perfect marriage of star, scenario, dialogue, director, and music.

There's more warmth in [Russell's] fondly bemused looks at Monroe, whose friendship is a front-row ticket to the best show in town.
July 26, 2014
Classic musical romp with dated premise is silly fun.
February 26, 2010
If camp comedy capering (don't call it a social satire!) isn't your thing, it's worth the ticket to see Monroe's iconic and flawlessly choreographed performance of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (TM): a perfect four minutes of film.

For all the three-dimensional attractions of its two leading ladies, this is a rather flat cinemusical.

Howard Hawks' joyous musical comedy of 1953 is the film that catapulted Marilyn Monroe to major stardom and iconic status as sex symbol.
August 04, 2010
You won't find a more elegant take on '50s va-va-voom vulgarity or a more joyous paean to the cheesecake self-empowerment of two little girls from Little Rock.
May 13, 2008
A strong play to the sophisticated dialog and situations is given by Howard Hawks' direction and he maintains the racy air that brings the musical off excellently at a pace that helps cloak the fact that it's rather lightweight, but sexy, stuff.
January 25, 2016
Howard Hawks adds sly sexual insinuation to the blatantly sexual antics of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in this scintillating 1953 adaptation of the stage musical based on Anita Loos's novel.
