"I can be smart when it's important. But most men don't like it."
Best friends Lorelai (Monroe) and Dorothy (Russell) set sail for Europe, which was supposed to be a wedding trip for Lorelai and her rich fiance, who was forced to stay in New York by his meddling rich father. Unbeknownst to Lorelai, her fiance's father has hired an investigator to follow her and make sure she stays away from the men on the ship. But Lorelai is a faithful, though a man-magnet (did I mention she's played by Marilyn Monroe?). One of the detectives, Malone (Reid), begins to romance Dorothy, but when the girls discover who he really is, he will have a tough time convincing Dorothy it wasn't all an act.
Featuring the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", guaranteed to get stuck in your head. Actually, the the other one they sing about being girls from Little Rock is the one that gets stuck in my head whenever I watch it. I LOVE this musical. Marilyn is SO funny!!!! Such a cute comedy, and there is a musical sequence with the men's Olympic team doing all kinds of gymnastic stuff. Yeah!
That was sort of a joke.
