  An enjoyable mix of best friends who want very opposite things from potential husbands. For me, Jane Russell stole the spotlight in this film, whilst Marilyn was much more over the top. As a Musical it's very forgettable, but otherwise it made for easy watching.

• AJ V

  
  A pretty good movie, it's almost exactly like How to Marry a Millionaire, but it's slightly better, mostly because it's funnier.

  Mixed feelings on this film. I loved the sassy Jane Russell, in all her boy crazed glory, and the ever fluffy Marilyn Monroe, but there wasn't enough pomp and circumstance. The numbers were lackluster except for the monumental "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend."… More
  Mixed feelings on this film. I loved the sassy Jane Russell, in all her boy crazed glory, and the ever fluffy Marilyn Monroe, but there wasn't enough pomp and circumstance. The numbers were lackluster except for the monumental "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." The plot was sketchy, and the humor up and down. Not the best musical, but still entertaining.

  dispite the choppy editing and rediculouness of Monroe This is a great movie! Its a classic and makes me wonder. Was Marilyn Monroe really that dim? It seemed abit too natural to be acting..

  As far as musicals go, this is easily my favorite. Howard Hawks brings the perfect blend of comedy, musical numbers and just an honest message. Of course the shining moment is Marilyn Monroe due to the fact that she's just so charismatic and lovable. As opposed to most musicals… More
  As far as musicals go, this is easily my favorite. Howard Hawks brings the perfect blend of comedy, musical numbers and just an honest message. Of course the shining moment is Marilyn Monroe due to the fact that she's just so charismatic and lovable. As opposed to most musicals i've seen, this really makes sense and isn't too overboard. It's a fun story with great visuals and characters you wont forget.

  Marilyn being classically Marilyn. Funny how diamonds are a girl's best friend reminded me of Moulin Rouge! Still this is one of the more enjoyable early romance films. I thought it was cute and funny. And LOVE that Technicolor!!!

• Nicki M

  
  Not much going for plot, but I liked the glamour in this movie. Marilyn was quite a good actress, it's only the second of her films I have ever seen.

  I had no idea what to expect from this one, I have to admit: it's famous for the scene that Madonna and Moulin Rouge ripped off, and for putting Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell (the latter being my preference if you must know) into Hollywood cement. Monroe's acting was weak - yes, this is new to me, it's the first of her movies I've ever seen - but her transition from (1) doe-eyed bombshell available to the highest bidder to (2) gold-digging show girl to (3) all-singing, all-dancing cabaret star was notable. Though it's watchable (as all movies made before about 1965 seem to be), the problem with this movie is that you just can't buy into the motives of your heroine, and her growth as a character in the end is questionable at best. The resolution is ridiculous, but these two on screen at the time? Who cares a lot? Fun songs, and no, I probably shouldn't beat on movies meant to be senseless vehicles for their stars...

  Luscious...sensual...soothing. Orgasmicly good

• Candy R

  
  Movie about two women searching for husbands, Love the song 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend'.

• Jennifer X

  
  It may not be deep or meaningful, but this is the kind of film I like best: raunchy, sexy, showstopping, gaudy, golddiggerry fun.

• Universal D

• xGary X

  
  Another Monroe vehicle in which it's really her co-star that carries the film, but her performance of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Bets Friend" is rather unforgettable (and I don't do musicals!)

• jay n

  
  great fun. marilyn and jane are wonderful together

• Leigh R

  
  Good movie.

• Byron B

  
  Favorite scenes were with the little kid that Monroe expected to be a rich play boy traveling on the ship to Europe. Coburn wasn't as good as in the screwball comedy The More the Merrier, the only other film I've seen him in so far. Marilyn Monroe has a lot more talent… More
  Favorite scenes were with the little kid that Monroe expected to be a rich play boy traveling on the ship to Europe. Coburn wasn't as good as in the screwball comedy The More the Merrier, the only other film I've seen him in so far. Marilyn Monroe has a lot more talent than some people want to admit. She had to in order to create such an indelible persona and memorable characters. She can sing, seduce, and is funny. Generally I would prefer the brunette, but compared to Monroe, Jane Russell doesn't stand out as very attractive or as a very good singer or dancer.

• John B

  
  Sure it is silly especially in terms of plots but the dynamic duo of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe are entertaining as heck. Of course you have to wonder about Russell being upstaged by Monroe who couldn't hold a candle to her in terms of acting ability.

• Daniel P

  
  An absoulte classic. Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe are note perfect, and it's still a very funny film.

• Andre T

  
  A classic. Delicious comedy!

• Sunil J
