Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell charms their way through romance, misadventures, and dazzling musical spectacle on a transatlantic voyage. <em>Part of the series <a href="/technicolor-series">The Wonderful World of Technicolor</a>, a seven-week celebration of Technicolor’s most dazzling achievements, showcasing the films that define cinema’s golden age of colour. The Tuesday evening screening will be introduced by series curators Adam Cook and Hilary Jay.</em> Our seven-week Technicolor series kicks off with one of the era’s most iconic films, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Howard Hawks’ buoyant musical follows showgirl Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) and her friend Dorothy Shaw (Jane Russell) as they embark on a transatlantic voyage, navigating romance, scheming suitors, and comic misadventures along the way. The film showcases Technicolor at its most flamboyant, bursting with candy-coloured set pieces and dazzling song-and-dance numbers. Monroe, at the peak of her star power, delivers one of her defining performances, blending comic innocence with sly sophistication in a way only she could. The result is a boisterous, sparkling comedy whose visual wit and chromatic brilliance exemplify Technicolor’s unmatched ability to elevate glamour into something mythic.ComedyPT1H31MRated PG2026-01-18Jane Russell
