Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Was there a movie genre that Howard Hawks could not master? His 1953 take on the 1949 stage musical has enough iconic moments (including a certain hot-pink dress) to fill several films. Starring Jane Russell and, of course, Marilyn Monroe, the comedy is typically Hawksian; fast-paced and full of double-entendres (courtesy of screenwriter Charles Lederer). If that weren’t enough the music comes courtesy of, among others, Hoagy Carmichael.
