Although the entire premise is meant to be silly, airy, and romantic, it's difficult to dismiss the sexual themes and the antiquated ways in which men and women are characterized.

Perhaps the best number in the show is Lorelei's fight song, Diamonds are a Girl's best friend. She almost convinces you that they are.

This Technicolor musical is presented on a lavish scale, and it is a musical comedy with a difference.

| Mar 9, 2023

This picture belongs to Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.

What makes the film one you are cheating yourself if you miss, are many things... the acts in it. The Cast. The Color. The dancing and the singing.

| Mar 9, 2023

Marilyn and Jane do very well with a couple of duets.

| Mar 8, 2023

The Monroe-Russell combination smashes over the comedy in no uncertain terms.

| Mar 8, 2023

Howard Hawks must indeed be a genius of the first magnitude, for not only has he presented us with a new Monroe, he has also completely refurbished Anita Loo's 27-year-old story.

| Mar 8, 2023

Together the gals [Monroe and Russel] are quite a team, and the movie quite a picture.

| Mar 8, 2023

Jane Russell is a standout, showing more talent than in any of her former pictures.

| Mar 8, 2023

A big, brash, broadly suggestive, and tiresome exhibition.

| Mar 8, 2023

The story... seems pretty crude and pointless in modern dress.

| Mar 8, 2023

Fine midsummer entertainment.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 8, 2023

If you are seeing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for the first time, it will probably please through its lavishness, and decorative qualities.

| Mar 8, 2023

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a topper.

| Mar 8, 2023

Everything in the production is top drawer, scene after scene, comic or serious, all blending smoothly.

| Mar 8, 2023

Glittering and highly sophisticated entertainment.

| Mar 8, 2023

It has Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell -- what more does it need? Technicolor? It’s got that, too.

| Mar 8, 2023

Two dazzling personalities give humor and bounce to a ramshackle bit of tuneful foolery.

| Mar 8, 2023

The one or two memorable tunes from the stage score get a good play, with Miss Monroe coming through as a fine vocalist.
