Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFox studio head Darryl F. Zanuck had originally assumed the need to dub the singing voices of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) until musical director Lionel Newman famously stitched together a vocal rendition of their opening number from multiple takes. As a back-up plan, an alternate set of recordings was made with Eileen Wilson dubbing Russell's voice, but in the end both ladies sang for themselves, and Russell even released an album of songs on the MGM label. From that point on, Jane Russell always sang in her own movies, including Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1955), and she would go on to a very successful run on Broadway as Elaine Stritch's replacement in the show "Company" in 1971.

"You're Driving Me Crazy!"
That's the tune you'll be singing after the movie's over... and not because of it's catchy chords and great lyrics, I assure you...
This is the kind of movie that drives anyone to the brink of insanity... for it tries to cover all genres, and it flops in each and every one of them - it's not a good musical... the orchestrations are awkward, far from easy listening, and can manage to ruin even the most enchanting songs ever composed - 'My Funny Valentine', for instance, and 'Ain't Misbehaving', executed on a hilariously ludicrous 'cannibal african tribe' setting (!).
A good comedy...? No, I don't think so... the amusing lines uttered by Jeanne Crain can't solely carry a feature film... by the by, can anyone believe that those legs actually belong to darling youth, 'Margie'...? :)
A good romantic flick? Again, I doubt it... the romantic interludes are ridiculous, featuring Jane "The Girl That Can't Say No" Russell and Scott Brady, and Jeanne "Tough Gal" Crain and Alan "Filthy Rich Hiding Behind A Social Outcast Mask" Young...
A good drama? Only if your notion of drama is reduced to Scott Brady's supreme could shoulders aimed towards Jane Russell... :)
Well... all things considered, this is a plodding, mindless affair that has it's good moments, but is not to be compared to the classic 'Gentleman Prefer Blondes' in any way.
