Marilyn Monroe, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are so wonderful in their iconic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) roles, it’s one of those films I just wish everyone would see! Unfortunately the commercial success and popularity of a movie sometimes work against it. Even the most prolific film watchers turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to a movie they’ve seen talked about in excess. I’ve seen it happen (unfortunately) with this film as well as Singin’ in the Rain, It’s a Wonderful Life, and All About Eve – movies I think no one should ever pass up!
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes also stars one of my absolute favorite character actors, Charles Coburn. The man was extraordinary in everything, including this movie.
You can find Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on dvd (Amazon link) or watch the movie on Prime Video.
