You'll love "Some Like it Hot"! 😊

Dorothy is an icon lmao

Harry Winston is a jewelry house that started around 1930 and provides jewelry, timepieces, etc at the highest prices and owns some of the most valuable jewels in the world. They sometimes loan pieces for celebrities to wear at ceremonies or in films, along with the constant presence of security guards.

The source for the film was a 1925 novel of the same name written by one of the female screenwriters in early Hollywood about a golddigging flapper. It became a musical in 1949.

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend is Marilyn's signature song, and has been paid homage by Madonna in her Material Girl music video, and at the 2024 oscar ceremony by Ryan Gosling during his I'm Just Ken song.

My brother introduced this film to me when I was little. Since then it has become a constant re-watch film. I've seen it on the big screen, and have the soundtrack, too. Jane Russell was phenomenal.

Two more hilarious Monroe films (both directed and co-written by the legendary Billy Wilder) are: Some Like It Hot (on many lists of funniest films ever made) and The 7-Year Itch. And her wardrobes in both films are fabulous! If you want to see Monroe play serious roles: The Misfits and Don’t Bother To Knock are impressive.

Yes its Marilyn's singing voice. And its not out of place for people to have sing-alongs back then. There was no TV and most families sang around a piano of an evening and at get togethers so the bon voyage party seems very natural of its time to me. This film was adapted from a stage musical. In reference to your comment that the songs felt shoe-horned in, I would argue this is one of the strongest musicals where the songs are a natural by-product of the story. The two woman are both professional singers at the start of the film. So it's normal for them to sing. Dorothy's courtroom song was delaying tactics. Diamonds was a show performance. The goodbye on the boat song was a farewell party. PS.. The Australian Crawl is a swimming stroke. When Dorothy falls in the pool that was unscripted but they kept it.

Dorothy wasn't a sleep around kind of girl, she was just flirty and liked the companionship of men and for her it was the person not their money that was the attraction but she understood Lorelei and accepted her for who she was though they were very different. What the film really represents is the strength of their friendship. No matter what trouble either (though mostly Lorelei) found themselves in it was never "Well what are you going to do?" but always "Sister, we're really in a jam now!" and they worked together and had each other's backs always. By the way in Jane's big number "Is There Anyone Here for Love?" she wasn't suppose to go into the pool at the end but when they were shooting she was knocked in then came up still singing and the director sensing that it added something to the number kept filming. This was Jane's biggest movie, 20th Century Fox borrowed her from her home studio RKO (she was the bigger star at the time-this is the film that truly cemented Marilyn's star status) and her films there were more noir focused. The best of them though did utilize her gift to infuse humor into a snappy line of dialog. Probably her next two best films are "His Kind of Woman" with Robert Mitchum and "The Las Vegas Story" with Victor Mature. For Marilyn I'd suggest either "Some Like It Hot" or "Niagara" (which was her film just before this one) as the next places to go exploring her filmography.

Wow. Ur pre-watch prediction for this film is very close to her 1955 film The Seven Year Itch. !

Jane Russell made her, scandalous, debut in "The Outlaw."

15:00 _Wait, why are they all calling it 'valet'_ It's only pronounced 'valey' if he's parking your car. It's 'valet' with a 't' when he's a personal servant. I learned that from watching Archer. Btw, you should react to Archer, I'm pretty sure you'd love it.

Wow. Thank you for reacting to this iconic film. However I found it odd to see you laughing, smiling, and making shocked delighted faces throughout, to then only say it was "decent.. pretty good" at the end. This is a top-tier Marilyn film.

You likely saw "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" in Madonna's homage to it in the "Material Girl" video.

With the Olympics coming up in a couple of weeks in Paris, I appreciate your title including the Olympic athletes. And I, too, support Dorothy's chase of all of them. They're fit.

Tbf in a lot of settings some men will chase a beautiful woman to the ends of the earth just because she's beautiful and the same is true for certain women. Gus wanted Lorelei for her looks and Lorelei wanted Gus for his money. Even with the Piggy fiasco, Lorelei was faithful she was only swindling Piggy for diamonds. Still wrong but she never betrayed Gus. I think everyone should be this honest because it's more likely you'll get what you want, like attracts like and in this case vapid attracts vapid.

I think you might enjoy the film "The Solid Gold Cadillac"- 1956

No joke yesterday I was looking up reactors reacting to this movie and I’ve only seen like one other person react to this legendary movie! Lol

When dorothy got knocked into the pool, that was an accident. She came up and kept performing, so it was included in the film.

When the athlete said he was the only 4 letter man on the team and Lorelei got offended, She thought of four letter words, and four letter words are bad.

Jane Russell wasn't supposed to have been knocked into the pool during her song.

For Audrey Hepburn you have to do Sabrina. It’s a classic!!! Marilyn is partially dubbed. I know Marni Nixon did the high notes but not sure what else.

Yes, there alot of jokes, but perhaps not too the extreme you consider. 😂

I loved your reaction to all of this movie. For me, the only part of the movie itself worth watching is Marilyn’s “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. The rich kid was cute too.

This is one of my favourite movies ❤ also love your title hahaha

Loved your reaction as always. You should check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

If you want to see that plot that you guessed at the beginning of the movie, watch The Seven Year Itch.

If you want to see a great Audrey Hepburn movie I highly recommend *Wait Until Dark.*

Ahh, so excited ☺️

Please Please Please react the 💛🖤💛”The Yellow Rolls Royce.” Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, Alain Delon, Ingrid Bergman, Omar Sharif.💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 And of course, “Some Like it Hot.” 🔥 🤣🤣🤣I watch reactions to it often and it’s always hilarious, never gets old. “Gigi” is a favorite too!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

11 minutes into your reaction and I already prefer Worthy over Marylin, both as an actress and a character, so clearly some gentlemen don't prefer blonds, lol. Great reaction, though
