Audience Member Gaudy, loud and filled with the silly conventions of rom-coms but Jane looks spectacular. She's saucy and sly draped in one eye popping creation after another. The supporting cast is rather thin but Mary McCarty is fun as a childhood friend of Jane's turned couturier. Look quick about an 3/4 of the way through and you can catch a glimpse of Kim Novak in her wordless screen debut as a model. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't know what they were thinking when they went 3D with one ,but by doing so they took what could have bedn a 3 star romcom and turned it int a 2 star dud. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant Jane Russell comedy, but no more. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Very closely modelled on Jane Russell's 1953 hit, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but nowhere near as good. Jane, as always, is great - check out her big number, Lookin' for Trouble - while Arthur Hunnicutt offers comic relief, and it's all in glorious Technicolour. However, Gilbert Roland is hopelessly miscast as Jane's love interest, the script isn't that funny and the songs aren't very memorable. A fun way to pass the time, but Jane deserved much better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Reminds me allot of "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" because of the Cruise, the Musical Numbers,Two Girlfriends who would do anything for each other, Costumes,& the Switching of Identity.This time she is not in the shadow of Marilyn Monroe, so in this she's the one you can't keep your eyes off.The Story, about an Oil Heiress(Jane Russel) that just wants to be loved for herself , not her financial assets. So She pretends to be traveling as a Model for a Dress Designer(Mary McCarty), & the Dress Designer as her.Much Fun Chaos to go around.I loved it almost as much as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Bland musical comedy. None of the musical numbers are very memorable. It seems it was primarily made to show off Jane Russell's full figure, and that it does. I am sure this was a racy film in 1953. It lacks a strong supporting cast, something I feel is important for movies of this genre. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
