I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I tried to like this, since this movie shows that beautiful women have brains, too. But the songs rarely have anything to do with the scene, Russell looks better when facing the other way (someone should have shot her hairstylist), and Monroe sounds better when she's not talking.Marilyn Monroe plays a girl obsessed with one thing: finding a guy rich enough to shower her with diamonds, complacent enough to do anything she says, and dumb enough to lose every argument. She casts her lure at every guy she sees, even though she's already engaged to the guy she just described.Jane Russell plays a chaperone who's too busy getting into trouble to keep her charge out of it. Specifically, she's also engaged - in an exercise of futility - that of landing a beefcake who will stop exercising long enough to notice her. Eventually she does get her happily-ever-after in a poor guy willing to sacrifice his morals for her beauty.The only reason to watch this atrocity is to drool over Monroe and Russell in their prime.

Classic musical comedy directed by the great Howard Hawks and starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. Marilyn's determined to marry a rich heir but his father has hired a private detective to prove the beautiful blonde's just after his money. Jane tries to protect Marilyn and keep her out of trouble while the two travel to Paris.Marilyn's pitch-perfect as the gold-digging Lorelei Lee. She played the 'dumb blonde' better than anybody in movie history. It's impossible not to like her, even when she's doing things you might not agree with. Jane's never been better than here playing Marilyn's sassy man-crazy best friend. Charles Coburn is the horny owner of a diamond mine. Child actor George Winslow steals every scene he's in. Tommy Noonan is fun as Marilyn's fiancé. Elliott Reid is the weakest part of the cast as the private detective who falls for Jane. He's just so stiff and corny that I couldn't see what a great dish like Jane Russell could see in him. He looks like a Fed.Lots of great lines and scenes. Possibly the best thing about the movie is just how gorgeous it looks. I'm not just talking about the leading ladies, who are both stunning. The Technicolor just pops off the screen. One of my favorite movies of all time. It'll make you smile from start to finish. Colorful, funny, sexy, with enjoyable performances and wonderful songs. Includes one of Marilyn's defining moments - "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." An absolute must-see classic.

Best friends Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) and Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell) are nightclub singers traveling to Paris on a transAtlantic cruise. They encounter many enamored men including the US Olympic Team, a Private Eye, and a diamond rich man.Based on the Broadway musical, director Howard Hawks is able to coax a truly fun performance from Monroe. Her magnetism is undeniable. Her bubbly personality outshines even Jane Russell.There are some fun jokes mostly sexual in nature as expected. The songs are good including the iconic "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". That particular song production is especially fun. It makes the movie. And it's especially great to have Monroe and Russell actually sing most of the songs.

With Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell, filmed in 1953, directed by Howard Hawks is a pleasant musical heyday of Hollywood, with two very beautiful and graceful actresses who performed spontaneous and very well prepared roles that show how a beautiful woman can conquer any man with flirtatious glances and movements, while these within the materialistic philosophy of the time, as a film critique, show how money is the best arm to let her fall in love particularly if some jewels (diamonds) are included. Cheerful and jovial music, sensual dances, simple and innocent humor. Ninety minutes of diversion from a simple script that captivates and entertains the viewer. A beautiful Marilyn, innocent, naive and with great force as an actress and Jane Russell as his charming companion and contrast of her personality and intelligence. Nice film
