What Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Is About

Howard Hawks's 1953 film follows two performers travelling to Paris by ship: one looking for a rich husband, the other keeping an eye on her. A detective is aboard. The film takes its real strength from the solidarity between the two women; the narrative talks openly about the reckoning between money and love. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell lead. It is adapted from a musical. Its song numbers became known apart from the film. Who it's for: those who like classic musicals. Who it's not for: viewers uncomfortable with the period's view of women; the film both uses it and lightly mocks it.
