Movie 20 - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes


For movie 20 I decided to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Well, I myself didn't decide, my girlfriend kind of decided for us. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is supposed to be a fairly classic musical I guess, we got the idea from a book called 501 Must-See Movies or something like that. This has Marilyn Monroe in it playing a ditsy lady who seems more interested in how fat a man's wallet is than the man himself. She's the definition of a gold digger in this movie but she doesn't really think she is. Also she's dumb as a brick. There's a scene where she thinks a tiara is a necklace and asks how you get it around your neck. This also has Jane Russell in it and I only know that because I can see it right up there. She plays the anti-Monroe's character in this movie, she's more interested in a hunk than a guy with a lot of money. Also while Jane's character wants more of a fling Marilyn's character seems to want marriage. This is an extremely classic movie and the fact that I'm pretty jaded or whatever I found this movie pretty dull. I didn't much care for the music and the story didn't really grab my attention all that much. bleh
