1. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes | Rotten Tomatoes
A decent musical I'd say. Not all the numbers are memorable and Monroe is a bit over the top.
Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) is a beautiful showgirl engaged to be married to the wealthy Gus Esmond (Tommy Noonan), much to the disapproval of Gus' rich father, Esmond Sr., who thinks that Lorelei is just after his money. When Lorelei goes on a cruise accompanied only by her best friend, Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell), Esmond Sr. hires Ernie Malone (Elliott Reid), a private detective, to follow her and report any questionable behavior that would disqualify her from the marriage.
2. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Variety
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 ...
An attractive screen tintuner has been fashioned from the musical stage hit and it's a flashy film show with enough s.a. and escapism to rate its full share of the boxoffice. Surefire casting of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe to project the physical and dialog lines should test theater cooling systems and give the ticket windows a good run for the money.
3. Movie Review: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
Aug 23, 2019 · The book, definitely, but the movie was still great fun. Plus, with a run-time of 91 minutes, it's the perfect lazy hungover Sunday film.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the 1953 musical comedy film, was based on the 1949 stage musical of the same name, which was in turn based on the 1925 comic novel of the same name by Anita Loos. All the work was worth it, though.
