    Marilyn Monroe doesn’t get nearly enough credit for being the funniest person who ever lived.

    the number where jane russell is dancing around a bunch of hot, half-naked men and singing about how unathletic she is? beyond iconic and too relatable

    This Technicolor musical is presented on a lavish scale, and it is a musical comedy with a difference. If you are seeing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for the first time, it will probably please through its lavishness, and decorative qualities.

    This film is so funny and right up my alley! I can’t believe it took me this long to watch it! Of course Marilyn Monroe is dynamite in this! After all, her performance of “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” is legendary, but I need to hear more noise about Jane Russell! LOVED HER

    the movie was good and has a lot of iconics outfits and lines but at some parts it feels so random or slow, despise that I Love Marylin Monroe

    Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

    a great musical comedy, for being a classic it feels very fresh to watch, both Jane and Marilyn stand out on stage 9.5/10
