Just like the 'disappearing dress' Mayilyn wore for 'I Want to be Loved by You', the men wore flesh colored trunks and only that little navy stripe was added so the censors wouldn't cut the scene because they all look naked...deliberately!
I always wanted to know the name of the handsome hunk at :29 seconds. Anyone know? I know Jane's brother is one of those guys. Fun number. I have shown it to some of my classes.
@LetsMoveToIraq Unless he shaved his crotch, I think that is the liner for those tight little shorts, or maybe a supporter. There were too many 'morals laws' to chance something like that at the time.
To be fair, I just can't see Jane Russell tolerating anyone trying to silence her... and yes I do appreciate she was probably thinking of two wrestles and a submission...
One of the most subversive films of the 30s, 40s or 50s. Sheer brilliance.
Jane confirmed to me that the gymnast doing the headstand on the beam at the left at the 2-minute mark is Jane's actual brother Jamie. She is also seen tousling his hair later. Good bodies did seem to run in that family.
Re her getting dunked in the pool at the end, that was an accident. They dried her off and re-filmed it, but later decided the accident made a better ending.
This my favorite of all her movies, and was her favorite as well. I still love her dearly.
..they made them add the dark strip around the bottom of the shorts..was entirely "nude" coloured before. Choreographed by the very gay Jack Cole by the way...
That physical culture fan line is intriguing - because there used to be a magazine by that name that was a thinly-disguised beefcake publication for men. :) (and it predated this movie)
Not really my kind of guy, but it's nice to see that they actually have chest hair - and those shorts - well, I can only imagine the censor board queens having fits of lust disguised as disapproval. ;)
LOVE this number from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". Jane is so beautiful and talented....she will be sadly missed, but her legacy will live on and endure! Love the hunky guys in this clip...lucky Jane!!!
@thaines Well yes, it is meant to be gay. This song was a nod towards the hot men on the cruise ship being gay and that's why they're not interested in Jane which is why her character never get a good relationship because she likes the wrong guys.
@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 But towards the beginning of the movie when Jane and Marilyn's characters enter the loading dock for the cruise ship, all the guys on the team are oo-ing and aah-ing at how beautiful they are and I think one of them even says something like that...
@thaines I think the point of the song is that the guys aren't interested in her. I don't think it's an accident. "Ain't There Anyone Here for Love" means that she's looking and she's not finding it. The guys aren't terribly interested in each other either. But when Jane Russell...who has one of the best chests in Hollywood history...falls in the pool, they climb over each other to lift her up.
If I am ever even half as sexy as Jane Russel I would be a fucking goddess.
