Directed by Howard Hawks, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) contains one of the most Iconic, sexy musical routines in film history: Marilyn Monroe performing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in her now-famous pink dress. Hawks shows his versatility as a director and all-around filmmaker, with each scene running smoothly into the next, and the song and dance routines intermingled nicely. Marilyn Monroe is ravishingly beautiful in one of her best roles as money-hungry gold-digger Lorelei Lee. Jane Russell is elegant and quick-witted in her role as Dorothy Shaw. The supporting cast is great as well, including Charles Coburn and Elliot Reid.
