In this 1953 musical comedy, adapted from Joseph Fields and Anita Loos’s searingly funny stage musical based on her 1925 novella, showgirl Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) is resplendent in beautiful gowns, most notably in the pink satin dress designed by Travilla during the now-classic number “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Both effervescent and timeless, this witty gem showcases Monroe’s brilliant comic timing as well as her vocal chops.
