”Two glamorous showgirls have everything a girl could want - except engagement rings! In a quest for true love, Lorelei (Marilyn Monroe) and her gold-digger pal Dorothy (Jane Russell) set sail on a luxury liner for France.
While on board, the pair hit rocky waters when a manipulative detective (Elliot Reid), and aging millionaire (Charles Coburn) and the entire men’s Olympic gymnastics team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief.”
