Well, what can I say? I thoroughly enjoyed this. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes may be fluff, but my goodness, it is enjoyable fluff. The men may be underused, and the third act is rather flat and contrived. However, the whole film is superbly photographed, with some eye popping costumes. The music is wonderful too, Diamonds are a Girl's best friend is iconic and for a reason but every other song is well done too. The choreography is also sprightly and enjoyable, while the script is snappy and witty and the story well-structured. The pace rarely lags either, and Howard Hawk's direction is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances of the two leads. Jane Russell is a great match, but it is Marilyn Monroe's movie. Classy, beautiful and entrancing, she really gives it her all and gives a superb performance in the process. All in all, thoroughly enjoyable and worth watching for Monroe alone. 8/10 Bethany Cox
