Date: August.12, 2012 -First Time Watch- With the fiftieth anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, TCM ran a marathon of Marilyn Monroe's movies and this happened to be one of the movies they picked. The story follows two showgirls, Lorelei (Monroe) and Dorothy (Russell). Lorelei is engaged to a wealthy guy (a bit of a nerd if you ask me) who's father does not approve. While her fiancé tries to convince his father to let him marry Lorelei, Lorelei and Dorothy take a cruise to France. Of course nothing goes as plans and the two girls are launched into a series of laughter. To be honest, Jane Russell steals the show. She seems like the kind of person you would want to be around you. She's fun, crafty and smart, everything that Lorelei needs to help her getting through this cruise. I can also see why in real life Monroe and Russell became friends. They had such good chemistry in the movie that it's unfortunate that didn't do another movie together. This movie provides plenty of laughter and you have to check out Monroe's iconic 'Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend' part.
