	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
		GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES is not only one of the first films in which Marilyn Monroe played a starring role; this film forever cemented her position as a cinematic icon.

	Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
		Marilyn is the stereotypical gold digging dumb blonde and Jane Russell is the "smarter" one of the two.
		In this movie, every one thinks Marilyn is a dumb gold digging blonde and at the end she proves to every one that she is just as smart as anyone but that men like girls who act dumb.
		Anita Loos wrote Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (according to her memoir Cast of Thousands) in somewhat of a snit because a man she hoped would be interested in her for her brains was interested in a vapid blonde for her other attributes.

		Gentlemen Prefer Blondes tells the story, set in the 1920's, of hedonistic gold-digger Lorelei Lee and her sail aboard the lle de France to Paris with her chum Dorothy Shaw.
		Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a triumph of knowing cynicism, rather like Chicago at the Adelphi.
		In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes the gem-loving ingenue from Little Rock is a mildly revisionist, because slightly less go-getting, version of the protagonist of Anita Loos's original novel.

	Orbital Reviews: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is one of Monroe's earliest major films and perhaps the movie that made her a star, but it also added to a myth that the public often had of her.
		In her films, she plays the dumb blonde constantly, not to mention the character who is "innocently" unaware of her sexuality, but in reality Monroe was not dumb whatsoever and absolutely knew that guys thought she was gorgeous.
		Because of her convincing performances and willingness to play the role of the dumb blonde, both on and off screen, the public had trouble differentiating her real personality from her persona in the movies.

		However, based on a survey of her résumé, GPB seems to be Marilyn’s first big success as a lead, and it was the one that firmly established her as the legend we know today.
		GPB is a dated and features a thin plot, but it has some charms that made it a fairly fun piece.
		Gentlemen Prefer Blondes appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
		GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES is a funny, classy, sexy musical that shows exactly why Marilyn Monroe is still popular today.
		It may be true that Monroe's character isn't the smartest in the room, but she sure knows what she wants and she goes after it with ruthless ambition.
		GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES would have been just another forgettable musical if it weren't for the talent of Monroe and Russell and their director Howard Hawks.

		Gentlemen may prefer blondes, and people seeking a fun light read may prefer "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." If you are in the mood for vintage chick-lit, Loos's witty little novel is a fun diversion.
		Gentlemen Prefer Blondes has long been one of my favorite movies, so I was tickled to discover that it was a magazine serial first.
		Lorelei is a beautiful blonde with a conflicting amount of predatory logic, downright dumbness and a deep conviction of her own intelligence.

	Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
		Much of Blondes' humor is born of Lorelei's backward speech and unique rationale, with Dorothy serving as the straight (wo)man and running commentator.
		As elemental to the enjoyment of Blondes as its comedic vitality is its dazzling and lush color, most often evidenced in the girls' vivid and sparkling costumes.
		Marilyn has never looked more glamorous than she does in Blondes, which features the breathtakingly saturated musical number "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Pumped up with pinks and reds, this sequence tends to bleed atrociously on TV and video, both blurring the image and concealing all of the exquisite costume details.

		Have you ever noticed that when a blonde walks into a room – no matter how old or aesthetically challenged she is, every man in the room turns and looks?
		Way back in our history, children who were born blonde with big blue eyes made other humans feel protective towards them.
		So, despite what the girl may look like, and no matter how old she is, it is an instinctive thing for men to want to protect and care for them.

		Howard Hawks's musical film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) began life as a 1925 novel by Anita Loos, a wisecracking dame who made a name for herself as a writer of scenarios in the silent period.
		Whether Gentlemen is an auteur film, or whether it directed itself, it is wildly entertaining.
		To cite McCarthy, Hawks's recent films had all dealt to some extent "with the frustration and emasculation of the male lead, but here they (sic) are like toy popguns opposite the double-barreled dames." While McCarthy may not have his pronoun reference correct, he certainly has the right idea.

	DVD Savant Review:Marilyn Monroe: The Diamond Collection
		Blondes is immediately recognizable as a Hawks film for a number of reasons pointed out by Robin Wood in his essays from 30 years ago.
		Nowhere near as broad as she was in Blondes, Monroe here is just a more sentimental version of the same type, and the part doesn't add up to much more than blonde window dressing.
		For once showing how tough and humiliating it is to be the dumb blonde singing off-key, her character here has a lot of rough edges.

		But, Hollywood routinely uses blondeness to imply that a man is either a nitwit (see Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in "Dumb and Dumber") or a soulless corporate weasel (see almost any James Spader or Jay Mohr movie).
		Brazil might be even more bonkers for blondes: their top female celebrity, a combination Oprah and Madonna who calls herself XuXu, is virulently Swedish-looking.
		In the U.S., 72% of fl-white marriages consist of a fl husband and a white wife, and in the U.K. And the great majority of the white wives seem to be blondes of one sort or another.

		Rear Window (1954) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) have very different plots but still have many striking similarities, such as the manipulation of the spectator’s gaze.
		In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes the plot revolves around two female characters, but men’s viewpoints are still represented by the constant fetishistic gaze and their constant representation as a spectacle.
		The films Rear Window and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes both take place during the 50’s where women’s roles were trying to be contained, and women were basically seen as sexual objects.
