Memorable mostly for the oft-imitated, gloriously choreographed number in which Marilyn explains that “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a lightweight vehicle that showcases the glamorous attractions of Monroe and co-star Jane Russell. Monroe should have patented the sexy but somehow innocent quality of her performance as singer Lorelei Lee from Little Rock. A must for connoisseurs of ‘50s musicals, it's a bit slow here and there and is mostly just eye candy toned down from the biting satirical novel by Anita Loos.
