Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Duas grandes ressalvas, muito musical (não me apetece) e assistir Marilyn Monroe, linda e talentosa, interpretando a loira burra, me dói profundamente considerando tu do que sabemos que a pobrezinha passou fora das telas... Impressão minha ou dois guris negros só retratados como macaquinhos? 'Foram homens como você que me tronaram o que sou hoje'' reflete um pouquinho de todas nós, pais, irmãos, tios, namorados ou estranhos, apenas reflexo… Um filme engraçadinho com uma toada triste...

A terrific cast and great songs makes this a delightful movie for generations. Tim Treakle

The man responsible for films like African Queen and Rio Bravo does show off some his genre range here. A decent musical I'd say. Not all the numbers are memorable and Monroe is a bit over the top.

I was quite shocked while watching this classic at how much I was not enjoying it. The musical numbers are great - I wish there had been more of them. And, of course, Monroe's DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND number toward the end is rightfully iconic. The trouble for me were the scenes in between those moments. I didn't particularly care for or about these characters, I thought the plot was a bit hackneyed, and I just didn't get into the groove of this one. I wasn't charmed, and I wasn't entertained. Hawks is the same director who brought us BRINGING UP BABY, one of the greatest cinematic comedies in history. I wish this one had just a fraction of that film's humor and wit. Monroe and Russell have undeniable star wattage - I just wish their efforts had been used toward a better film.

loved the story and the characters

Cliché and boring. An early dance scene was plastic. Monroe has one good dance scene near the end.

Not even Monroe can rescue this paper thin plot. Somehow we ended up with a musical justifying gold digging. The songs are boring as usual, the US Olympic team what??? All sorts of oddness going on here. Not a fan. Finally watched this long held DVD today.

Its significantly different than the original stage production (on top of several plot changes, the movie forgets its a musical for much of of the middle section) but that doesn't matter because the movie is just endlessly delightful. Russell and Monroe make for a fabulous comedic duo.

You have seen it before and done better.

A great movie musical with a classic number: "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend". Marilyn Monroe shines in this flashy entertainment.
