Not a great movie, but almost universally seen as the role that allowed Monroe to break through the dumb blonde stereotype and deliver a performance with range, power and even subtlety. She’s quite good as a below-average singer trying to overcome her hillbilly roots and dreaming of Hollywood fame. She’s touching as she sings “That Old Black Magic” for a rough, rowdy bunch of unappreciative cowboys, but the corny plot ultimately makes the whole movie fall flat.
