Best friends Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) and Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell) are nightclub singers traveling to Paris on a transAtlantic cruise. They encounter many enamored men including the US Olympic Team, a Private Eye, and a diamond rich man.
Based on the Broadway musical, director Howard Hawks is able to coax a truly fun performance from Monroe. Her magnetism is undeniable. Her bubbly personality outshines even Jane Russell.
There are some fun jokes mostly sexual in nature as expected. The songs are good including the iconic "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". That particular song production is especially fun. It makes the movie. And it's especially great to have Monroe and Russell actually sing most of the songs.
