Description
A vintage movie poster of ''Gentlemen Marry Brunettes'', a 1955 American musical comedy film directed by Richard Sale, based on the novel "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" by Anita Loos. This film serves as a sequel to the 1953 film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," though it's not as well-known or as commercially successful as its predecessor.
The plot follows two sisters, Bonnie and Connie Jones, played by Jane Russell and Jeanne Crain, respectively. Both sisters aspire to follow in their mother's footsteps to become showbiz stars. The story takes the audience on a journey from New York to Paris as the sisters seek fame and fortune, encountering various romantic and comedic adventures along the way. The narrative is framed by the sisters recounting their story to a publisher, played by Alan Young, with the intention of clearing their family's name.
One of the notable features of "Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" is its vibrant Technicolor cinematography, which adds a rich visual appeal to the film. The movie includes a number of musical numbers, showcasing the talents of its leading actresses, especially Jane Russell, who was known for her singing as well as her acting.
The film's costume design is another highlight, capturing the fashion and style of the mid-1950s. It provides a visual feast of elegant and extravagant costumes, which were crucial in setting the tone and atmosphere for the movie's various settings.
While "Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" didn't achieve the same level of acclaim as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," it is still appreciated for its charm, humor, and musical sequences. The chemistry between Russell and Crain, along with the film's lighthearted and entertaining storyline, make it a delightful watch for fans of classic Hollywood musical comedies.
