Lorelei is blonde, Dorothy is brunette. Lorelei wants a rich husband, Dorothy wants a handsome one. These two friends go searching for what they want from Little Rock to London and Paris, but get into lots of complicated and fun situations. Marylin and Jane lead this musical comedy directed by Howard Hawks, with the anthological Marylin's number "Diamonds are a girl's best friends"
