As the brunettes that gentlemen prefer to marry Jane Russell and Jeanne Crain
at least got a working vacation in Paris. The cinematography of the city of lights
is dazzling..
A rather thin plot with many flashback sequences and one dream sequence are packed into Gentlemen Marry Brunettes. Jane and Jeanne play themselves a pair of sister showgirls who are tired of the New York scene and go to Paris hoping to strike it big as their motherand aunt did back in the Roaring 20s.
One remnant of the 20s is in Paris. Rudy Vallee is there and he remembers the old sister act well. With his patronage and a rich secret admirer the new sister act hits it big.
They even pick up a couple of earnest courters, Scott Brady and Alan Young. t all ain't quite enough.
A bit more of a coherent story and Gentlemen Marry Brunettes would have been a classic.
