Exactly. She's looking out for herself. I'm surprised to see this in a film from that era, to be honest.

Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?

Men can't seem to see things from other perspectives. I've noticed this a lot and even my ex told me he had that problem.

I had an ex fiance's father violently corner me in his house when I went to pick up something for my fiance because he couldn't. He didn't know we were engaged and thought I swindled him out of a few grand. I was told to keep it secret until my fiance could tell his family, so I had to say I didn't know what he was talking about. He also thought I was after the maybe $25,000 that guy had from an accident. $25,000 LMFAO. He was nice as hell to me when I ran into him after I dumped his son and returned the ring.

I fucking love Marilyn! She's feminine and wily and lets the males think they're in control, but that "run along darling" at the end tells all

The ultimate dumb fox

Marilyn is absolutely correct!!!

I cringe when I see media/movies/shows that brainwashes women into thinking we're "gold diggers" for caring about money. There are so many movies where the guy "picks" the girl because she "wasn't after his money". All those girls are usually young, cute, hot, and don't know they are/cute hot (insecure). Don't fall for it ladies!

A person's success is part of what makes them attractive. There is nothing wrong with being concerned about money imo. It's arguably one of the most important things in life.

I LOVE her character in this movie! Knowing what you want is a huge part of getting what you want.. don’t be apologetic for being you.

Also, it’s been a while since I’ve watched this movie, what happens during the three minutes? 😂

Indeed

Here's an interesting article about this film: https://film.avclub.com/gentlemen-prefer-blondes-is-bubbly-and-smart-just-like-1835919873

"There’s a sort of loosely accepted myth that cultural progress is linear—that of course a movie made in 1953 would be more sexist than a movie made today. Yet once you lock into the satirical tone beneath its surface-level pleasures, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes refutes that idea in nearly every scene. It’s both an old-fashioned romp and a shockingly progressive ode to female independence, sexual agency, and camaraderie. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but—as this romantic comedy sees it—so is the woman who will happily throw on her finest evening wear and upend the patriarchy with you."

I love black and white movies. There's something so refreshing about seeing well-dressed men that have their shit together, and I love the fact that characters aren't just ripping off one another's clothes. Everything is coy, hinted at, implied. There's a subtle wordplay in every interaction and the women carry themselves with such grace and sophistication.

It's like the anti-porn.
