Gentlemen Prefer Blondes



A charming Marilyn Monroe flick about two singers Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw(Monroe and Jane Russell, respectively) who are on their way to France on a ship. Unbeknown to them, they are being followed by a private investigator, hired by the father of Lorelei's rich fiance. He is intent on catching Lorelei in a compromising position with another man. However, then he meets Dorothy and things get a lot more complicated. This is a really cute movie and it has the famous Monroe song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", which she sings in her iconic pink satin dress. Classic! Also, watch out for the sexy scene with Russell falling in the pool. In my opinion she's way hotter in this movie than Monroe!
