Gentlemen Prefer Blondes // Once Upon A Time in Hollywoodland

dir. Howard Hawks // 1953 // 1 hr 31 min

Complementary bombshells Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe wreak havoc on the male libido in this classic Howard Hawks farce of two nightclub singers set loose onboard a Paris-bound luxury liner. Jane and Marilyn show their gift for flawless comic timing in every scene – and their musical duets together, including “Two Little Girls From Little Rock” and “Bye Bye Baby,” are simply priceless.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOODLAND... is a series hosted and programmed by KCAI lecturer Kara Heitz looking at classic Hollywood films and history from the advent of sound to the birth of New Hollywood.
