1953 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Lobby Card with Marilyn Monroe

Fans and critics insist that the film has bisexual undertones to it. Style-wise, Jane was cast as the taller, more masculine girl in the picture, which was a

contrast to Marilyn’s blonde, feminine features. The costumes, gestures, and musical numbers also provide cues that the characters were romantically

involved. But what about Marilyn and Jane in real life? Marilyn was known to not have female friends, yet Jane was frequently by her side. Coincidence?

Doubtful. And this isn’t just an opinion. An HBO biopic of Marilyn clearly depicts her and Jane having a raunchy encounter. Add to that the scantily clad

men’s Olympic team is a feast for gay eyes.

promises to later meet her in France. However, he also warns her to behave, noting that his father will prohibit their marriage if rumors of

misdeeds make their way to Esmond, Sr. Unbeknownst to both of them, Esmond Sr. has hired a private detective, Ernie Malone, to spy on Lorelei.

 During the Atlantic crossing, Malone immediately falls in love with Dorothy, but Dorothy has already been drawn to the members of the (male-

only) Olympic athletics team. Lorelei meets the rich and foolish Sir Francis "Piggy" Beekman, the owner of a diamond mine, and is attracted by his

wealth; although Piggy is married, Lorelei naively returns his geriatric flirtations, which annoys his wife, Lady Beekman.

 Lorelei invites Piggy to the cabin she shares with Dorothy, whereupon he recounts his travels to Africa. While Piggy demonstrates how a python

recover the incriminating film while he is unconscious. They find the film in his pants, and Lorelei promptly prints and hides the negatives.

Revealing her success to Piggy, she persuades him to give her Lady Beekman's tiara as a thank you gift. However, Malone reveals he had planted a

showgirls in Paris, headlining a lavish revue. When Gus shows up at their show, Lorelei rebuffs him, after which she performs Diamonds are a Girl's

Best Friend, the musical number whose lyrics explain why and how women need to pursue men with money. Meanwhile, Lady Beekman has filed

charges regarding her missing tiara, and Lorelei is arraigned for theft. Dorothy persuades Lorelei to return the tiara, but the pair discover it is

missing from her jewelry box. Piggy tries to weasel out of his part in the affair when Malone catches him at the airport.

 Dorothy stalls for time in court by pretending to be Lorelei, disguised in a blonde wig and mimicking her friend's breathy voice and mannerisms.

When Malone appears in court and is about to unmask "Lorelei" as Dorothy, she reveals to Malone in covert language that she, Dorothy, loves him

 Back at the nightclub, Lorelei impresses Esmond, Sr. with a speech on the subject of paternal money, and also makes an argument that if Esmond
