MCT:August 2, 2008Meh. Jane Russell is positively dazzling, but Monroe... well, I'm biased 'cause I rather dislike her, but I failed to see what was supposed to be so great about her there.

Miss Marilyn Monroe always seems a wee bit wasted to me, but I suppose that's part of her appeal. Cute, cute film with catchy songs, a cast that's easy on the eyes, and a whole lot of gold-digging humor.

MCT:May 28, 2008Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe play a pair of bosom buddies (bad pun alert!) who embark on a transatlantic cruise and sing and dance along the way. Russell plays Dorothy Shaw, the brainier, bustier, wittier, and less blonde of the pair. She delivers a lot of the best one liners in the film and sings a few of the better songs. Monroe plays Lorelei Lee, the titular blonde, and by the time we get around to her performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," you can practically hear Monroe's iconoclast status being written and her visage being emblazoned upon merchandise. It's a breezy musical that's colorful and all sorts of fun.

MCT:April 11, 2008Marilyn Monroe is exactly everything that I despise in celebrities and the opposite sex. Her life was always about being noticed for her body, and she would do anything to be noticed and to be rich. She is most famous for having an affair with who I deem to be the worst president ever, JFK. She also has an annoying voice and could not act for crap. As far as her movies go, you can count me out, for I would rather spend a day listening to Whoopi attempt to sound intelligent.

I don't want to take anything away from Monroe here but it was Jane Russell who made this film for me. I don't know why but there was something in her performances that really made the film more magical.
The musical numbers were good, but there was something weak in the plot, but it is definatly still worth a watch. -

Silly, funny and entertaining. Lot's of humorous one-liners and the occasional sticky situation make this an entertaining film. Marilyn is absolutely gorgeous. The song and dance numbers were alright. The whole film sort of reinforces stereotypes of the dumb blonde that values money over love and the femme fatale that is source of man's downfall. However, you can't always use today's moral standards to look down your nose at a film made half a century ago.

Marilyn in a surprisingly clever role! I expected her to play the ditzy (but adorable) blonde like in her other movies...whaddaya know, she grew a brain. Jane Russell was equally beautiful and the role of a less materialistic but loyal friend suited her well. I prefer Jane Russell's character, but Marilyn simply dominated the screen.

MCT:February 14, 2008Love Marilyn, enough said, though were I ever to act in this Musical I would play the role of Dorthy
-
MCT:February 9, 2008I don't want to be jaded by the fact that this is a "classic" movie. It was funny in some parts and had some fun musical numbers, however, I didn't think there was anything great about it.

I watched this movie with my grandma, so of course it has the sentimental value. But still, it's pretty good.

After seeing how nuanced and clever he can play under Sturges, its kind of a shame to see Charles Coburn playing a buffoon here. This nitpick aside the film is great. Very sexy and rock solid musical numbers. Monroe plays the best and most up-front gold-digger in film history. And check out Jane Russell and her tremendous...talents.

I love this! Marilyn is elegant and poised in this film about two girls who run off to Paris to find some men. It's sweet, funny and most of all it's just fun. A Monroe classic with a good soundtrack.

marilyn's BEST flick, mainly for the fact that she should never be in anything BUT Technicolor! And Jane Russell is awesome too.
-
MCT:October 29, 2007
This is the best movie!! I LOVE IT!! And Marilyn Monroe is such a good actress. My fave part is when she sings "Diamonds are a girl's best friend".
-

Marilyn Monroe was unbelievable. Shunned in many circles in hollywood, but after she did this movie, she shot right past everybody into legendary status.
-
Marilyn's most famous film. It's hilarious start to finish, and Jane Russell is the perfect "sidekick" to Marilyn.
-
MCT:October 5, 2007
This film is a classic. The performance of Marilyn Monroe is legendary. I think the story ran true to nearly all of the audience. The direction was sublime.
-
MCT:September 19, 2007
awesome! Marilyn Monroe is not so ditzy in this excellent role as a gold digger!! Some excellent talent in those classic scenes!
-
MCT:September 10, 2007
Love it. And love the "song theme" of the movie. Probably one of these Marilyn's movies who did made her a "star".
-
MCT:September 10, 2007
I really enjoyed this. Monroe is definitely at her best and I found myself singing along to "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". Classic cimema.

Marilyn Monroe - what more need you say. She went way before her time. She wasn't the greatest actress, but she was Marilyn Monroe.
-
MCT:August 25, 2007
Marylin, tu as tort. Je préfère les brunes.
Et avec raison, puisque ce film n'amène en rien un débat sur la couleur des cheveux, sur les qualités des femmes ou sur un principe humanitaire universel. Non, ce n'est qu'un petit film commercial des années 50, un petit film qui nous montre beaucoup de jambes et qui nous envahit les tympans avec des dizaines de chansons qui ne nous intéressent pas forcemment.
L'intrigue prend beaucoup de temps avant de se pointer et, malgré sa qualité passable, on est déjà bien désintéressé quand on y arrive. -

You know I think you're the only girl in the world who can stand on a stage with a spotlight in her eye and still see a diamond inside a man's pocket.

MCT:August 7, 2007
c'mon, marilyn's in it...the bad girl-next-door everybody wished they had...well, she's not really bad, see, she's just made some bad choices, yah, with men mostly...all of them...everybody...but she's a sweetheart, see, and not a bad girl at all, just cause everybody says she is don't make it true
and a real american icon is born
jane russell tries to keep up but is simply not damaged enough, poor thing -
MCT:August 2, 2007
I loved this film, Jane Russell are perfert as the two girls from 'Little Rock'.
Just hope that a remake is being planned - would love to see a modern version of this classic film.
