Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

70TH ANNIVERSARY!  
Fri Mar 17: 7.00pm at EASTEND

Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) is a beautiful showgirl engaged to be married to the wealthy Gus Esmond (Tommy Noonan), much to the disapproval of Gus' rich father, Esmond Sr., who thinks that Lorelei is just after his money. When Lorelei goes on a cruise accompanied only by her best friend, Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell), Esmond Sr. hires Ernie Malone (Elliott Reid), a private detective, to follow her and report any questionable behaviour that would disqualify her from the marriage.

Certified Fresh 98% on Rotten Tomatoes

"I cycled home somewhat overwhelmed by the music and colour and sexiness of the film I'd just unexpectedly seen. I've seen it many times since and, with all its flaws, I love every minute of it." - The Australian

"Monroe sparkles like the diamonds she worships." - Times UK

"You won't find a more elegant take on '50s va-va-voom vulgarity or a more joyous paean to the cheesecake self-empowerment of two little girls from Little Rock." - Time Out

"If there's a single film that could shatter Laura Mulvey's theory of the "male gaze" it's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." - Slant Magazine
