![]() A sparkling Marilyn Monroe and one terrific song don’t fully rescue this Howard Hawks musical-comedy from the dregs of cheesiness. The song? Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend, a theatrically produced Song and Dance number performed by the inimitable MM in an iconic pink dress…

![]() I finally did it; I watched a Barbara Streisand classic. I’m not normally a fan of old school musicals, but the Bronx beauty was mesmerizing; the classic charm, humor, and blow ‘em away voice kept me hooked. |
