Editorial Review
Description
These glamorous showgirls have everything a girl could want - except engagement rings! In a quest for true love, Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) and her gold digger pal Dorothy (Jane Russell) set sail on a luxury-liner bound for France. But the pair hits rocky waters when a manipulative detective, an over-aged, over sexed millionaire (Charles Coburn) and the entire men's Olympic team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief. It's a wild and joyously funny ride across the Atlantic as our bathing beauties plan and plot a way to land their men.

Amazon.com essential video
Anita Loos's old story from the 1920s about a pair of single women in search of husbands gets a makeover in Howard Hawks's 1953 musical, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe as friends who go to Paris looking for mates. The film is charged by Hawks's stylish snap, a famous set piece or two (Monroe descending that staircase while singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend"), Russell's wit, and songs by Leo Robin and Jule Styne. The film may largely be a fluff project best remembered as a showcase for its leading actresses, but then Monroe and Russell rarely got such extended opportunities to prove that they were more than cinematic icons. --Tom Keogh

My wife is a huge Marilyn Monroe fan, and this is her favorite movie of all time. I've seen it three times in the last month since we got the DVD, and I'm surprised to say I really like it. I'm not big on musical comedies, but this one works. It's pretty risque for 1953, and the musical numbers are great. "Ain't There Anyone Here For Love?" Jane Russell's big number, is gayer than a Christmas tree, and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" is one of Marilyn's finest moments. She's absolutely radiant throughout this movie, and very funny too. Her talents were overshadowed by her looks, and this is her best performance in my opinion. The film print has been restored, and looks great, I love Technicolor movies from this period. You can't go wrong with this one.

Deserves five stars for the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. Marilyln Monroe's performance was about 200 stars, the rest of the movie average at best.

Jane Russell is the true star of this film; make no mistake. The billing stated that she was The Star of the film, and the billing was correct. If you normally bypass Marilyn movies because of the rather overdone dumb blonde motif, watch this one anyways. Jane sparkles as the smart, witty best friend to Lorelei -- the diamond loving, dumb blonde. Jane's sparkling repartee as well as her performance capabilities (and my dad says her beauty) make her the most fun to watch. She is what is known in theater circles as a triple threat; she can act, sing, and dance. Oh, don't get me wrong; Marilyn does a very good job at what she does, and her attitude and performance are fun to watch. I love how her character, Lorelei, is always trying to find Jane's character, Dorothy, a wealthier and more "suitable escort" despite the fact that Dorothy has told her she doesn't care about money. However, it is her performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" that is her dazzling moment, but Jane dazzles throughout the movie! This one is a wonderful, rewatchable film, but I don't just watch it for the dubious pleasure of Marilyn in another typecast roll.

This fun piece of fluff is well worth your time for the title song alone. What a fun ride! Marilyn Monroe stars as the not-as-dumb-as-everyone-thinks blonde bombshell who has a feverish passion for diamonds. Her diamond fetish creates loads of trouble for her and friend Dorothy (Jane Russell) and loads of fun for us. If you've never seen a Monroe vehicle, let this be your first. She was a comic genious, still vastly underrated by many.
