This week’s pick is another Golden Age Hollywood classic from our own golden-haired, Hollywood girl herself. Tune in as Hannah tests the theory of if Gentlemen [really do] Prefer Blondes or if it’s all just ticklish business any way you look at it.
While the boys may have been enamored with the bombshell duo of Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, Hannah definitely had some tricks up her sleeve with some of those musical numbers. Will the boys finally learn to do pre-show research? So far only our resident historian, Garrett, has taken up that mantle as he delves into the basis for the movie: the 1949 stage production by the same name.
And while there may have been some initial grumblings, this Howard Hawk’s classic never fails to disappoint with some iconic numbers and bewitching performances by just two [legendary] girls from Little Rock.
No one will ever mistake our krewe for being gentlemen, but we know at least a couple who may indeed prefer blondes.
