Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Original Trailer 1953

marilyn monroe is my idol and i loved her work, its shame she died at 36, but anyway she had good scence for humor and a IQ 160:)

brilliant film xx

The Jack Cole production numbers were RUTHLESSLY edited out of the final cut after Darryl Zanuck decided that he wanted more story and less of a musical revue. Monroe also had a number in her gold lame dress that was cut. Her original outfit for "Diamonds" was MUCH more revealing! But when her nude calender became public, FOX insisted "cover her body up!" Designer Travilla came up with the famous pink dress, and Betty Grable used his original creation later in her nightclub act.

monroe is a wreck! when she appeared hollywood was never the same because it's no longer classy

If only the lost footage could be found, a clip of it is in this trailer towards the end, a big musical number, called Down Boy, where Monroe & Russell desend a staircase in yellow & black with the Eifel Tower in the background.

This scene I hear is totally lost & never made the final release print, strange that they kept it in the trailer?

i thought the same thing.

Fantastic...BUT...where is the infamous lost footage, the clip of both Monroe & Russell singing & dancing coming down steps with the Eifel Tower in the background? The song was called Down Boy but film & soundtrack are both lost...if only it could be found!
