Presented by Laurence Unger, MFAH Film Subcommittee and Ultimate Film Buffs member.

Howard Hawks’ Technicolor musical comedy is anchored by the performances of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe as Jazz Age lounge singers on a Transatlantic ocean liner to Paris. Based on the 1949 Broadway musical of the same name, the film centers on a detective hired by Monroe’s fiancé’s father—who wants assurances that she is not marrying purely for money—who ends up falling for Russell in a hilarious series of events. Enjoy the classic productions of Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend and Ain’t There Anyone Here for Love?
