(Howard Hawks, US 1953, 91 min.)

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend—or so coos Marilyn Monroe in one of her most enduring roles as a showgirl who heads for Paris with her earthy friend (Jane Russell) in order to lure any available millionaire down the aisle. The Joseph Fields-Anita Loos stage original gets the Hollywood treatment, complete with racy, sophisticated dialogue and lavish Technicolor® production numbers.
