Directed by Howard Hawks • 1953 • United States
Starring Jane Russell, Marilyn Monroe, Charles Coburn

Two 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 for France. While on board, the pair hit rocky waters when a manipulative detective (Elliot Reid), an aging millionaire (Charles Coburn), and the entire men’s Olympic gymnastics team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief. The irresistible chemistry between Monroe and Russell propels this fizzy musical comedy, which features Monroe’s classic rendition of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
