Description

 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

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.
